My essay

Sun May 4, 2008, 8:28 PM
Chiefly, the conflicts of the people of Lilliput can be likened to those England has. The major conflict of the lilliputians is the Big-Endians against the Little-Endians, which later grew to a war between Blefuscu and Lilliput. The Endians fight can be linked to the English Protestants and Catholic conflict as they are both religious conflicts started over minor differences in interpretations of how true believers should follow their belief. The religious book of the lilliputians, the Beunodecral, states that “believers should break their eggs at the convenient end”.(Swift 35) The problem started when the present ruler's grandfather cut his while trying to break open the egg at the bigger side, a law was pass after this that all lilliputians must break the eggs at the smaller end.(34) A number of lilliputians did not like this new law and rebelled against this law, only to end up being killed and after facing losses the rebels who then became the Big-Endians chose to flee to Blefuscu. Blefuscu had shown itself to be a sympathizers with the Big-Endians, sending ambassadors to argue that the law was unreasonable and not following the religion.(63) The religious fight started in england much the same, the monarchy broke away from what was the norm and making the rest of the nation. England's king left catholicism to become protestant, making the country follow him and people rebelled. Blefuscu stood for France, who sympathized with the Catholics like Blefuscu did with the Big-Endians. This caused paranoia between in both Lilliput and England and many wars ensued.
