why does the first chapter of the voyage to brobdingnag begins with a map? can u guess where it is supposed to be? what is the writer trying to convince us about.-gulliver part2 ch-1
The first chapter of the voyage to Brobdingnag also beings with a map. To make such an unheard of place seem possible, Swift has Gulliver explain that they're blown off course by a storm, and that the oldest sailor among them could not tell in what part of the world they were.
He is trying to convince us by instinctively feeling that he is more civilized and therefore less violent and more reasonable than those creatures. Throughout this second part of Gulliver's Travels Swift draws attention to the animal side of human beings. Despite their capacity for reason, they should not, he says, lose sight of their gross physical needs.
