Swift is satirizing the type of person who would do anything to gain political power.

<u>Satire is a genre of literature that consists in humour and irony that is used to criticize someone or a group of people.</u> This excerpt shows that Flimnap, the Treasurer, is seeking the Emperor's favor and that is what the passage is satirizing: <u>people who are willing to do anything to pursuit their biggest ambition, such as gaining more political power</u>. At the same time, the Emperor of Lilliput is conscious of his political power. He even chooses his ministers for their abilities to wear a tightrope and not for their skills to become leaders. That is the way in which Swift satirizes the Emperor.
