Jonathan Swift wrote Gulliver's Travel because he wanted to expose to people his complaints about the elite class of workers - politicians, scientists, and philosophers. He ridiculed people as proud and greedy and used satire in this literary piece to express his thoughts. The key reason of Swift's creation of Gulliver’s Travels is to educate people about the value of reason, restraint, and common sense.
