9. What are the different satirical techniques used in Gulliver's Travels? What are their similarities and differences?

The satirical art of Gulliver's Travels is very prominent, and the author's satirical techniques are also varied. With comic exaggeration, he infinitely expanded the hateful and grotesque images of wild foxes, happy skins, others and immortals. He also described the life and struggle of Lilliput with a serious attitude and meticulous realistic details, which successfully reflected the reality of Britain at that time. Swift is also good at telling trivial and boring things in a serious tone, which has a strong ironic effect. For example, the author originally opposed the designer's use of objects to abolish spoken language, but he talked indignantly about how women joined hands with laity and illiteracy to oppose the abolition of everyday language. He said: "laity is often the enemy of science." He is clearly criticizing the British colonial policy, but he just wants to state that it has nothing to do with the British nation. Irony can make readers understand the author's original intention more deeply. Swift is also good at telling trivial and boring things in a serious tone. The narrative of lilliputian history is an excellent example. In particular, Swift's satirical art is highly generalized. The rope performance of the Lilliputian ministers, in which the courtiers of Lagenaige licked the floor when they saw the king, portrayed the flattery and ugliness of the noble ministers; How cruel it is for the king to poison the courtiers licking the ground with poisonous powder. The wild fox died for that shiny stone. What is the difference between this and today's capitalist countries' capitalists competing for profits?
