The giant Queen buys Gulliver from the farmer, and now he lives at court. The farmer is all too willing to part with Gulliver at this point because Gulliver has lost so much weight that the farmer figures he will die soon. Gulliver is treated well at court, and given food and new clothes.
Summary: Chapter VII. Gulliver is disturbed by the kingâs evaluation of England. He tries to tell him about gunpowder, describing it as a great invention and offering it to the king as a gesture of friendship. The king is appalled by the proposal, and Gulliver is taken aback, thinking that the king has refused a great opportunity. He thinks that the king is unnecessarily scrupulous and narrow-minded for not being more open to the inventions of Gulliverâs world.
