Gulliver acknowledges outright the shift in his perspective that has only been implied earlier: he feels the Houyhnhnms have helped him see the dark “truth” about human society and made him realize he wants nothing to do with humans. From Gulliver’s accounts, the master horse deduces the “truth” about human society that so alters Gulliver’s perspective. According to this view, humans are completely lacking in moral power, are pathetically disabled physically, and have managed to organize a society that is simply the grotesque reflection of their unreasonable minds. Though, from the Europe’s perspective, European clothes, access to fancy foods/luxury goods, wealth, political savvy, and complex emotions indicate their society’s refinement and civility, the master horse’s Houyhnhmn perspective sees the same qualities as evidence of the opposite. He recognizes those qualities as evidence of savagery and brutality, linking the possessors of those qualities to the Yahoos and indicating their society’s degradation.
