Ngulliver's travels by jonathan swift, what evidence is there that swift does not want readers to take the dispute between big-endians and the little-endians seriously? the fact that the lilliputians are so small tells us how insignificant they will be. the fact that he picked something as silly as breaking eggs shows that swift does not expect the reader to take the dispute seriously. that two religions would be formed because of a monarch's family issues cannot be taken seriously. the difference in size between gulliver and the lilliputians makes light of the idea that such differences can be overcome.
