Creator notes

The Brobdingnagians are superhuman in stature and generally more moral than humans. Brobdingnag are described as being around 60 feet tall making them giants compared to Gulliver, who is of normal human size; essentially, the people of Brobdingnag. Brobdingnag is a peninsula on the western coast of British Columbia that acts as the "island" nation of the Brobdingnagians, a giant race of humanoids who are of truly titanic size. Everything on Brobdingnag is gigantic, including the plants, animals, food, buildings and etc, befitting of the giants that make it their home. Brobdingnag was one of the many locations visited by Gulliver during his travels.

The Brobdingnagians are the epitome of moral giants. Physically huge — 60 feet tall — their moral stature is also gigantic. Brobdingnag is a practical, moral utopia. Among the Brobdingnagians, there is goodwill and calm virtue. Their laws encourage charity. Yet they are, underneath, just men who labor under every disadvantage to which man is heir. They are physically ugly when magnified, but they are morally beautiful. We cannot reject them simply because Gulliver describes them as physically gross. If we reject them, we become even more conscious of an ordinary person's verminous morality.

Set against the moral background of Brobdingnag and in comparison to the Brobdingnagians, Gulliver's "ordinariness" exposes many of its faults. Gulliver is revealed to be a very proud man and one who accepts the madness and malice of European politics, parties, and society as natural. What's more, he even lies to conceal what is despicable about them. The Brobdingnagian king, however, is not fooled by Gulliver. The English, he says, are "odious vermin."
