When at the end of The Golden Ass, the narrator Lucius becomes an Ass (descending ignominiously into his animal nature) before converting to the cult of Isis, and when Gulliver at the close of Travels wants to become a horse rather than a Yahoo-man before surrendering fully to deep-set misanthropy, one should be concerned less with character than with the unfolding of the overall satire.

The end result is that we have left the world of corrective satire and moved to that type of tragedy which Hamlet’s misanthropy represents; only then may we realistically see ourselves caught between our emotional and rational natures.18 As Swift wrote to Pope, man is not animal rationale [a rational animal] but rationis capax [an animal capable of rationality].19 In his Thoughts on Religion, Swift makes a revealing comment on the struggle between reason and instinct, which places him in the long line of satire than runs from Greek pessimism to Beckettian despair: Although reason were intended by providence to govern our passions, yet it seems that, in two points of greatest moment to the being and continuance of the world, God hath intended our passions to prevail over reason.The first is, the propagation of our species, since no wise man ever married from the dictates of reason. To Dryden it is the tragic element which gives Juvenal’s satire “sublimity” and makes it superior to the “low familiar way” of Horace.29 Elliott concludes appropriately of Juvenal, and it must equally apply to Swift, that, Juvenal’s allegiance … is to a more “primitive” satiric mode than that of Horace – to a mode the spirit and tone of which go back, in some respects to the bitter wrath of Archilochus.30. 48 Quoted in Samuel H. Monk, “The Pride of Gulliver”…, p. 327. Université Bordeaux-Montaigne. 14Swift is one of the great exponents of satire precisely because he so effectively straddles these two positions of correcting and anatomizing satire.

Ainsi, les Lilliputiens sont mortellement divisés avec leurs voisins sur la manière d’ouvrir un œuf à la coque. 50With this balance between reason and instinct in mind, Gulliver’s misanthropy becomes even more dubious.

Pope and Swift both celebrated the critical force of their satire along these lines.23 Yet there is another aspect to satire, equally substantial and widespread – sexuality. 3In The Battle of the Books (1704), a defense of ancient authors in the then ongoing battle between ancient and modern literature, Jonathan Swift makes a famous comment that, Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world.5.

Using Antonio Gramsci’s categories of organic and traditional intellectuals (roughly those connected to class change and those who appear unconscious or hostile to it), Said notes how Swift combines the two categories: From a class standpoint, then, Swift was a traditional intellectual – a cleric – but what makes him unique is that unlike almost any other major writer in the whole of English literature (except possibly for Steele) he was also an extraordinarily important organic intellectual because of his closeness to real political power.42, 37Behind this complex political position is a sovereign intellectual satire of humanity which seeks to uncover the most primitive transgressions of power, cruelty, and lust. 17 Robert Elliott, The Power of Satire: Magic Ritual, Art, Princeton, Princeton University Press, 1960, p. 219.

That whatever philosopher or projector can find out an art to solder and patch up the flaws and imperfections of nature will deserve much better of mankind, and teach us a more useful science than that so much in present esteem, of widening and exposing them (like him who held anatomy to be the ultimate end of physic). First there is an image of the mating habits of the Female Yahoo: …, a Female Yahoo would often stand behind a Bank or a Bush, to gaze on the young Males passing by, and then appear, and hide, using many antick Gestures and Grimaces; at which time it was observed, that she had a most offensive Smell; and when any of the Males advanced, would slowly retire, looking often back, and with a counterfeit Shew of Fear, run off into some convenient Place where she knew the Male would follow her.
