| Abstract | ||
| This research paper sheds light on the style and significance of Jonathan swift's Gulliver's Travels. This fictional work is very well known among literary media for the author's brilliant use of prose and his way of presenting character and action in it. Swift makes use of those stories telling of European castaways and employs them to serve his literary purpose, and at the same time to serve his personal wish to severely and bitterly attack and satirize those aspects of society which he considers to be social and political ills which should be eliminated. Throughout the use of imagination and exaggerated yet exotic and strange images of people, animals, and things, Swift manages to achieve his aim—both the production of a wonderful fictional work and satire. | ||
