Question: What kind of behave was done with Gulliver by the inhabitants of Brobdingnag?

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

Set against the moral background of Brobdingnag and as compared to the Brobdingnagians, Gulliver's "ordinariness" exposes many of its faults. Gulliver is revealed to be a really 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 hide what's despicable about them. The Brobdingnagian king, however, isn't fooled by Gulliver. the English, he says, are "odious vermin."

Nevertheless, the Brobdingnagians aren't without their flaws. Unlike Gulliver, who always considered the Lilliputians to be miniature men, the Brobdingnagians cannot consider Gulliver as a miniature Brobdingnagian. Even the King, who is sincerely keen on Gulliver, cannot view him as anything except an entertaining, albeit sly little fellow, one who isn't to be trusted. The maids of honor within the Brobdingnagian court treat Gulliver as a plaything. To them, he's a toy, not a man, so that they undress in front of him without an idea of modesty, and that they titillate themselves together with his naked body. Still, this "abuse" of Gulliver — denying his humanity and his man-hood — is made for amusement, not out of malice. Although they're not perfect, the Brobdingnagians are consistently moral. Only children and therefore the deformed are intentionally evil. 

In short, Swift praises the Brobdingnagians, but he doesn't intend for us to think that they're perfect humans. they're superhumans, sure to us by flesh and blood, just bigger morally than we are. Their virtues aren't impossible for us to achieve , but because it takes such a lot maturing to succeed in the stature of an ethical giant, few humans achieve it.
