discuss role reversal in species in part 4 of gullivers travels.

Houyhnhnms Gulliver encountered during his IV voyage, he compares them to the roles they play in England. They play the role of horses tamed by the humans in England from a very young age. These horses even though stronger than humans are controlled by them. 

The yahoos are more like the humans in England who work towards their own selfish interests. They are doctors and lawyers. Doctors are corrupt and are not very good at curing patients. The yahoos in England are constantly in war with each other and try to use their power to gain control over one another, they are worse than the Yahoos that the Houyhnhnms usually are at war with.
