The first name of this title character is from Hebrew for “devoted to god”; his last name suggests he can be easily duped
Final Jeopardy Answer
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Lemuel Gulliver
Final Jeopardy Explanation
Lemuel Gulliver is the protagonist and narrator of Jonathan Swift’s novel Gulliver’s Travels, which was first published in 1726.
The novel satirises both human nature and the literary subgenre of “travellers’ tales.” It is Swift’s best-known full-length work and a classic of English literature. Swift stated that he authored Gulliver’s Travels “to vex the world rather than divert it.”
Lemuel means “devoted to god” in Hebrew, while “Gulliver” has similarities with the word gullible, which means someone that is easily duped or cheated.
