A Change in Gulliver

In the beginning of the book, Gulliver started out as an average man who was a surgeon and lived a normal life. This was all changed when he was first shipwrecked during a storm and when he landed on the island of Lilliput. Throughout all of his journeys, he learned of the corruptions of mankind and realized that there is no reason to return back to England. He was disgusted by all of man's vicious, backstabbing, and greedy characteristics that society is tainted with. Gulliver never wanted to leave the land of the Houyhnhnms, the land of the Utopian society. When forced to leave, he knew that he would never return to the corrupted societies of England and found his own island where he could live the way he wanted where he could live in his own Utopian society alone.
