The definition of a utopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is perfect. In the fourth book of Gulliver's Travels, Gulliver discovers a group of people called the Houyhnhnms and this group exhibits the qualities of a possible utopia. Houyhnhnms have very rational thinking and do their best to stay away from entertainment and vanity. However, the Houyhnhnms could not be considered utopia creators because they emphasized unrealistic rules and because of the way they treated the Yahooians within their society. Instead, it is the Lilliputians who display the most signs of a potential utopia in Gulliver's Travels. The theme of their possible utopia in Gulliver's Travels can be seen throughout Jonathan Swift's novel and is present in every society Gulliver encounters. . The Houyhnhnm people were honestly the closest society to a utopia that Gulliver encountered, but their way of thinking was too unrealistic to work. The Houyhnhnms did their best to try to refrain from doing anything that distracted them from the search for reason, so they eliminated entertainment, all forms of vanity, and sexual desires. The problem with this way of thinking is that citizens do not have the freedom to do what they want, which will not make everyone happy. For a utopia to exist, everything has to be perfect, and if everyone isn't happy, then the utopia doesn't exist.

For human beings, the work toward the goal of a perfect society will be long and may never produce the results of the Houyhnhnms, but by using new perspectives, a utopia may be closer than it seems. it seems. In conclusion, the Houyhnhnms were almost too perfect for their own good. They have stayed away from anything that might cause them to lose their search for reason, but it is impossible for everyone in their society to always be happy with their way of thinking. The lack of freedom is all too evident in Houyhnhnm society. Instead, it was the Lilliputian people who had the slimmest chance of realizing a utopia. Although some of their laws could be quite extreme at times, the majority of their laws were for the greater good of all, and it's a government system that I think people could be happy in..
