    Author or topic: Jonathan Swift

    Abstract or summary of the research in not more than 100 to max. 150 words:

        First of all, I will say that the novel which I am trying to work in my research is " Gulliver's Travels" written by Jonathan Swift.
        The main characteristic of this book is that we are dealing with a satire "hidden" by a sort of adventures.
        What I will try to do in my work is uncover the real messages of these adventures, analysing the symbologism inside them.
        By this way, we will discover that the author's purpose is to refer to important things such as politics or human being using a science-fiction story.
        So, in every travel, Swift will show us a sort of values which ones he feels identified.
        But the question that I want to explain in my final work is not only a simple explanation of the values mentioned above but also the reasons that motivates the author to do this kind of work.
 

        So, I will refer basicaly to his biography in which we will see his controversial personality and how deeply the circunstances of the century affect him.
        Because of this, Swift use words to attack hardly the things that he consider inapropiated in his society and for doing it he uses the irony.
        And it is this irony the reason that motivates me to make this research, because behind simple words ( such as the Swift ones), there is a symbolical world that we should discover or at least try to discover.
