Geographic: England; Europe; United Kingdom; Britain
Description: Here we see Gulliver’s reunion with his family. He was embraced by his wife and children, but he recoils. Gulliver finds himself disgusted by his family, preferring instead the family he lived with in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver was especially distraught that he was a parent and had brought children into the world who lacked the virtues of the Houyhnhnms. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
