Gulliver describes life in Lilliput. He explains that, though the Lilliputians are small, their animals, surroundings, and physical capacities (such as sight) are scaled to size. Gulliver describes aspects of the Lilliputians’ legal system. If a person is found innocent by trial, the accuser is sentenced to death and the innocent person is paid generously for the inconveniences suffered. Fraud and ingratitude are likewise capital crimes punished by death. Citizens who follow the law throughout their lives have the title snilpall (which means ‘legal’) added to their name and are accorded privileges. (And Lilliputians are appalled to hear from Gulliver that his society maintains order only by punishment, without rewards.) When hiring people to positions, the hirers consider that person’s moral more than they do his abilities. Gulliver goes on to describe other aspects of life in the Lilliputians’ society. Children are raised by professors and servants in public nurseries away from their parents. The nurseries are organized based on gender and social class. However, girls are raised to be just as brave and smart as boys are (and any maid at the girls’ nurseries who entertains the girls by telling stories is whipped, imprisoned, or permanently exiled). Parents rich and poor all pay pensions and monthly sums to the nurseries, as the Lilliputians’ think it is unfair to place the cost of raising children on the general public. Still, the payments are scaled to the parents’ income levels. Gulliver goes on to describe the prodigious efforts made by hundreds of the Lilliputian servants to clothe and feed him. He notes that once he had the Lilliputian emperor and the whole court over for an enjoyable dinner, though he thinks that Flimnap, the lord high treasurer, may have used the event as evidence to show the emperor how much money Gulliver was costing the kingdom. Gulliver describes also losing favor with the emperor when Flimnap accused him of having an illicit affair with Flimnap’s wife, though Gulliver assures the reader that he and the lady were only ever friends. Gulliver says he found out about this accusation “by an accident not proper to mention” but notes that the treasurer was eventually “undeceived” and warmed to his wife again, though he never stopped resenting Gulliver.
