"I begged her to fetch Gulliver's Travels from the library. This book I had again and again pursued with delight." (20)
Gulliver's Travels was a very popular book published in 1726 by Jonathan Swift. It is in in four parts and tells of Captain Lemuel Gulliver's travles across the sea to many remote places. Gulliver's travels are filled with misfortune, as he gets shipwrecked, abandoned, and attacked by his own crew. Jane is attracted to this novel because it is realistic and she wants to travel far from where she is, but then she is also disheartened by it because Gullliver's journey is so harsh. Her interest in this book foreshadows that she will endure adventures filled with hardships.
