Because Gulliver was charged with treason and forced to leave the Lilliputians, he ends up in Brobdingnag, a land of giants. When he first arrives, he is taken in by a farmer who supplies him with a bed, food, and water. Once he was settled, the farmer displayed Gulliver doing tricks all over town in order to make a profit off of him. When Gulliver started to decline in health from exhaustion, he was sold to the royals for 1,000 gold pieces. Although he was happy for a while, his size caused many accidents and he began to feel homesick. After the box he was living in was carried off by an eagle and dropped into the ocean, he ended up in the hands of Englishmen who took him home.
In Part II of Gulliver’s Travels, Swift uses the conversations between the king and Gulliver to satirize the pointless use of modern warfare. When Gulliver hopes to impress the king by giving in-depth details of the English army and their warfare, the king was baffled as to why they’d cause bloodshed when they are already a free country living in peace. We see more satirical elements when Gulliver examines the Maids of Honor. He finds their bodies horrific and disgusting but only because he is seeing their flaws much closer than he would the women back home. This puts an emphasis on the English society during the 18th century expressing that everyone suffers the same flaws and are not as perfect as what they appear to be.
