Compare the satire in gulliver’s travels & candide assignment

Swift uses his tone of mockery to explain how the human and yahoo have in common. But human such as Gullible even has more disadvantage than yahoo. Gullible describes to his master the reason of war in humans world, “ our neighbors want the things which we have, or have the things which we want; and we both fight, till they take ours or give us theirs”(P. 305). His master tells him how yahoos behaves “ you throw among five yahoos as much food as would be sufficient for fifty, they will, instead of eating peaceably, fall together by the ears” (P. 313). This explains that human and yahoos have the same nature.

They are both greedy and fight for no reason. Yahoos are filthy, irrational figures. Gullible hates them from the first time he meets them. Ironically later he finds out that human beings are even worse than them. Because his master reminds him that Gullible differed from yahoos for the worse (P. 303). As a human, Guilder’s nails were of no use either to his fore or hinder- feet and he was not able to feet himself, without lifting his fore-feet to his mouth (P. 303). Gullible fells so shame that he is one of the yahoos. By Guilder’s experiences, Swift is saturating the society in which Gullible comes from.
