Gulliver remarks about the Lilliputians, Brobdingnagians, Laputans, Houyhnhnms and Yahoos in a straightforward way, reporting on the cultures, rather than analyzing them. Swift disguises his allusions to the political and philosophical thought of his time, allowing the reader, not Gulliver, to discover them.
