1. What are the three biggest targets of Voltaire's satire in these pages? Discuss, and give evidence by quoting exact passages. pg. 61: 'Queens in the sewer!'- Voltare makes a satire with the queen and shows us how he hates the people with power. It is like how people with the power treat others like rubbish. pg. 62: ''So who was theat fat pig".......... appears; -he attacks the scribblers and writers. I think he is also critisising gulliver. He thinks it is useless and he sees them as just money makers by making fun of something.

2. Does Swift, in //Gulliver's Travels,// attack any of the targets you identified in question 1? Find passages from Swift's book as evidence. Then write a paragraph for each one, and discuss the similarities and/or differences. The queen was attacked by both writers. In Gulliver, it was when he pees on the queen and in candide, it is when he says Queen in the sewer. We can see by this how really bad was the queens. in history, Louise 16th's death was actually the queens problem. The similarities are that they both used the naughsty words to it. But I think Voltare is attacking Guliver as well saying it doesn't mean anything to make satire with any thing in the world. I think another similarity is that they both have hard times.
