Routine

I like how Swift makes Gulliver say at the end of Part II, "This I mention as an instance of the great power of habit and prejudice." It shows the importance of routine in our daily lives and how we don't even notice our own habits until we go somewhere where the society has different routines and status quos. And I find it interesting that Gulliver's habits are more noticeable after his trip to Brobdingnag than when he lives in Lilliput. For example, he is yelling at everybody when he gets home because he had to yell in Brobdingnag for the giants to hear him speak. It makes his captain and wife think he has become quite eccentric, yet he did this everyday for the two years that he lived in Brobdingnag.
