Today’s Final Jeopardy 5/1/2023 (18th Century Literature) – Monday, May 1 2023
The first name of this title character is from Hebrew for “devoted to god”; his last name suggests he can be easily duped
Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Monday, May 1 2023
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Lemuel Gulliver
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Monday, May 1 2023
Jonathan Swift’s work Gulliver’s Travels, first published in 1726, has Lemuel Gulliver as the protagonist and narrator.
Both human nature and the literary subgenre of “travellers’ tales” are satirised in the book. It is Swift’s best-known full-length work and an English literature classic. Swift stated that he authored Gulliver’s Travels “to vex rather than divert the world.”
Lemuel means “devoted to God” in Hebrew, whereas “Gulliver” sounds similar to the word gullible, which refers to someone who is easily fooled or cheated.
