Part Two: A Voyage to Brobdingnag

After Gulliver returns to England he sets out with a crew on the Adventure. A monsoon blows them off course and land on a unknown land mass. He encounters all the objects to be forty foot high on average and is almost stepped on a farmer of the land. The farmer takes him in and the farmers daughter takes care of him. The farmer then tries to use him as entertainment. They travel to see the Queen of Brobdingnag and to show how Gulliver can interact with the townsfolk. The Queen buys Gulliver for 1,000$ and Glumdalclitch is as well included in the deal to taker care of him under her order and are given the treatment of royality and Gulliver is quite satisfied. The King and Gulliver both talk about politics and the King is amused about how they run things in Europe. Gulliver explains the landscape of Brobdingnag and it spans 6,000 km and has mountains surronding the land. Gulliver is carried around in a special box and all the people crowd around him in amazement. Gulliver as well has many problems even though he likes Brobdingnag but his size doesn't really help him and a problem arises in a form of a monkey and he becomes weak from the fight and is bed ridden for two weeks and the monkey was killed and any other monkey that came into the palace would be killed or banished. Gulliver finds the people of Brobdingnag are generally ignorant and poorly educated towards the city and themselves. As well thinks down towards them and the King of Brobdingnag. Gulliver wants his freedom and sets up deals with the King about going on a search for a wife so he can propograte. While on the search Gulliver and Glumdalclitch both fall ill and stumble upon people the same size as him and can relate. Gulliver begins to recover on the ship, and he tries to tell the sailors the story of his recent journey. He shows them things he saved from Brobdingnag, like his comb and a tooth pulled from a footman. He has trouble adjusting to the sailors’ small size, and he finds himself shouting all the time. When he reaches home, it takes him some time to grow accustomed to his old life, and his wife asks him to never go to sea again. This story has taken a turn I really enjoyed this part out of the first. It has really gotten good and not too much description in it as the first part of the book. I look forward to reading Part III out of IV.
