A last note on Gulliver . . .

Is Gulliver a Yahoo?

That Gulliver

Clearly, Swift gives the reader a contrast with the Lilliputians and the Brobdingnagians in terms of size. What does the stature of the inhabitants suggest about the size of their egos and their moral standards?

We didn't talk about it too much, but in each land we are introduced to the ruling class and to the peasants (the Lilliputian who helps Gulliver and Glumdalclitch). Are there any differences between the two classes in each land and between both lands? In other words, are the peasants in both places similar to each other in terms of moral behavior, AND are the peasants similar to the ruling classes in terms of moral behavior in each land? In other other words, can you characterize the moral character of ALL Lilliputians and ALL Brobdingnagians?

Oh, one more: How different are they from people today?

The Way of the World

This play, although perfomed, has not to my finding been made into a movie. Do you think that is an oversight (and now a career path for you), or do you think there are other reasons? Be specific in your answers.
