He attacks politics, religious controversies, the scientific community, and human rationality in a very unique way. He steps outside normal boundaries to allow readers to see the subliminal message he is sending them: this is a corrupt society. "Swift's main goal in using the satirical element in this book, as well as in most of his other works, is to antagonize the world rather than hijack it and thus appeal to the human capacity for change situations for the better” (Ernst). It is not only informative, but sometimes also hysterical. His story is like a world made up of what is really happening around him. His symbols are the people and events that he believes should be exposed and he does this very meticulously in his story using the main character Gulliver as a representation of himself. Swift guides the reader through the kingdom and ultimately sets the stage for the expulsion of real-life events and drama in these troubled lands.
