Characters in Gulliver's Travels

Lemuel Gulliver

Flimnap

Lord High Treasurer of Lilliput and its finest rope-dancer. He resents the cost of maintaining the Man-Mountain and turns the court against Gulliver.

Glumdalclitch

The young daughter of the Brobdingnagian farmer who takes charge of Gulliver, sews his clothes and carries him about in a travelling box. She names him and cares for him throughout the second voyage.

Reldresal

Principal Secretary for Private Affairs in Lilliput, who explains the kingdom's factional quarrels to Gulliver and speaks for leniency when the court turns on him.

Pedro de Mendez

The Portuguese sea captain of the fourth voyage, whose patient generosity toward a Gulliver who wants nothing to do with humankind quietly rebuts his misanthropy.
