Abstract
This project will analyze the ideology and influences Irish author and satirist, Jonathan Swift had in cultivating theories on society/economy and thoughts especially relevant in his novel Gulliver’s Travels. The information is worth noting because of the bigger than life themes he suggests in liberal thoughts and social interactions between people. Ultimately, remorseful thoughts on monotheistic governments, European influences, and pro-world-peace examples were found as prominent ideas conveyed by Jonathan Swift.
Overall, it is morally correct to agree with Jonathan Swift’s ideology of a world based upon freedom and liberty. It is fairly simple to sympathize with Swift’s thoughts on civil unity as order is what maintains a system afloat. The findings also reinforce the credibility of Swift’s ability to sway an audience as his background information credits his advanced education and innovative methods to express his thoughts through satire. Lastly, future research ideas to consider can be to examine the influence of the enlightenment era as a whole and 17th century authors.
