Gulliver is home for five months when he decides to set sail again. He leaves his pregnant wife and sets sail on the Adventure, the name of his ship. He captains this ship and along the way many of his shipmates get very ill and die so he recrutes more along the way. These new shipmates eventually turn into pirates and dumb Gulliver on to a very strange island and leave him there. Soon after Gulliver notices a very hair and very strange “animal”. He realizes he wants nothing to do with them and begins to set out for civilization. In the process of this he is attacked by a bunch of these animals ,but a very large horse rescues him. He is very intrigues by the horses and they began speaking to Gulliver. Gulliver asks them to take him to civilization and they do. The horses take him to their home and show him what life is like. The horses inform him that those animals are called “yahoos” and that they believe Gulliver is some type of yahoo. Over the course of two years Gulliver tries to convince them other wise. Gulliver begins to tell them all about the way England works and the people there. He tells them how horses are used and how the humans think and act. The horses feel that the humans in England and the Yahoos are very alike. Both are greedy and selfish. The horses eventually come to the conclusion that Gulliver is in fact a breed of yahoo and he is sent away off the island. Having lived there for so long Gulliver has no desire to live with humans again. He travels to another island where he discovers European Yahoos and decides he would rather live with humans over them. He then travels back to England, for the first year he can not stand to be around his wife and children. Therefore he buys two horses and converses with them everyday. Gulliver eventually learns to live with humans again,but nonetheless it was a struggle.
Swift comes into part 4 by using many different types of Satire One of the main ones being that Swift is using the Yahoos to describe humans, the filth, the greed, and the uncontrollable desire to mate. Yahoos are exactly like humans and Swift was trying to tell us that a being such as a horse, has more since in the world than most humans do. Also, he completely breaks down mankind as a whole a picks apart the rich, the governments and the systems of mankind to show their flaws.
