Feudalism

In the novel, Gulliver traveled to a weird place that is apparently a floating island called Laputa. In Laputa, the society resembles a feudalistic society because the upper levels of the island are less ignorant and possess a vast amount of knowledge compared to the lower levels. Also, the lower levels have a society in inadequate living conditions compared the upper levels since they live in houses that are described to be ruined and dirty. In addition, the king has a high power to punish his followers as well and isolate them from natural resources which is also a representation of feudalism.
