Analüüs Swifti kirjandusest inglise keeles
To Swift it seems
that armies are often more concerned with looking impressive than with being impressive. This scene
might also be an allusion to the Colossus of Rhodes, described in Julius Caesar by Shakespeare as a
largerthanlife figure that men could walk through the legs of.
The war between the English and the French is parodied in the conflict between the Lilliputians and
the Blefuscudians. Their conflict over which end of the egg to break reflects the centuriesold conflict
over how to practice religionas Protestants or Catholics. While the wars over religion certainly were
very serious, Swift suggests that what was being fought over (at least on the religious rather than the
political side) really was not very important. In Swift's eyes, fighting over religion is as pointless as
fighting over which end of an egg to break.
Swift also parodies the political parties within England. The Tory party is represented by the Low Heels
