The king of Laputa, a fictional character from Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," is portrayed as a ruler who is obsessed with mathematics and astronomy, often neglecting practical matters of governance and the welfare of his subjects. He resides on a floating island, Laputa, which he uses to control the surrounding lands by blocking sunlight and rain. His erratic behavior and fixation on scientific pursuits highlight the absurdity of prioritizing intellectualism over practical leadership. Ultimately, he symbolizes the disconnect between lofty ideals and the realities of effective governance.
The king of Laputa asks Gulliver about the government, customs, and institutions of England. He is particularly interested in learning about Gulliver's perspective on war and politics in England.
In Gulliver's Travels, the king of Laputa is unable to suppress the revolt in Lindalino because of his impractical and abstract thinking. The people of Lindalino were revolting due to the oppressive and exploitative policies imposed by Laputa on them. The king's detachment from the needs and grievances of the people of Lindalino prevented him from effectively dealing with the uprising.
