The term "Lilliputians" refers to the tiny inhabitants of the fictional island of Lilliput in Jonathan Swift's satirical novel, Gulliver's Travels. These characters are known for their miniature size, standing only about six inches tall. The story explores themes of politics, society, and human nature through the interactions between the Lilliputians and the protagonist, Gulliver. In the novel, the Lilliputians have their own complex society, complete with laws, customs, and conflicts. They engage in petty disputes, such as the famous war over the correct way to break an egg, highlighting the absurdity of human conflicts. The Lilliputians serve as a critique of the political landscape of Swift's time.
