In "Gulliver's Travels," Jonathan Swift presents the conflict between the Big-Endians and the Little-Endians as a trivial and absurd dispute over how to crack eggs, highlighting the ridiculousness of such sectarian divisions. The exaggerated nature of their conflict, with both sides resorting to extreme measures to assert their beliefs, serves to mock real-world religious and political disputes. By framing the fight as both petty and nonsensical, Swift encourages readers to view it with skepticism, suggesting that such divisions often stem from arbitrary differences rather than substantive issues. This satirical approach underlines his critique of human folly and the absurdity of entrenched ideological battles.
