The first
person point of view in is important as it makes it much easier for the
reader to identify with the story's . During his epic voyage, Gulliver encounters many strange
new worldsfull of bizarre creatures and their equally bizarre customs.
Swift
recognizes that if he's going to make such worlds more readily understandablenot to mention make
hisall the more effectively bitingit's better to have someone to guide us: someone not too
different from ourselves. That someone is, of course, none other than Gulliver
himself.
As we read about his many adventures from a first person
perspective, we can more effectively place ourselves in his shoes, imagining how
we would act when faced with such challenging situations and such unusual
characters.
