Eagles!

Did you know that the idea of giant eagles towards the end of Chapter VIII of Part II is also used in Lord of the Rings? So J. R. R. Tolkien possibly unknowingly used the giant eagles that save Frodo to do the opposite of what actually happens in Gulliver's Travels: take Gulliver away from the land of Brobdingnag and from safety.
