    ridiculousness of each of these countries is the heart of the story‚ which is a rather unforgiving satiric analysis of the often less-than-glamorous English royal court. The exaggerated‚ wacky lands that Gulliver visits in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels satirize and criticize the corruption of the English government.
