Lemuel Gulliver is a man who is  middle class. He has four brothers, including him he has five brothers, he is third in number. He was born in Nottinghamshire.  He attended Emmanuel College a good college but for middle class people. He is gullible and morally superior. He can be called gullible because he beliefs that what the other person is saying is the truth. He is an honest man who believes others are honest also and will not lie to him. He often is not able to understand what others can perceive and see. 

He is morally and politically superior to the Lilliputians. The lilliputains were petty, cruel, vengeful and self serving race. On the other hand normal people are filled with honour and possess gratitude, common sense and kindness. Gulliver is also a proud man who is a Britishers and is in every way a man made out of the social political historical conditions of those times.

Sometimes Gulliver is also a hypocrite when he lies about his own country England's bad characteristics which also shows he is loyal to his country. Although, he tries to change his basic nature by thinking and ignores his animal side even though he is not as suprerior as others such as Brobdingnags.
