"the Yahoo's were known to hate one another more then they did any different species of animals (P. 227) and that the Yahoo's of Gulliver's country exemplified them greatly.As the story goes on we can clearly see that Gulliver is beginning to change in terms of how he sees himself and his humanity. I think this first came to light when he began to realize how similar the human race is to that of the Yahoo race in the isolated island. Gulliver comes to a boil in this passage "I express my uneasiness at having giving me so often the appellation of Yahoo, an odious animal, for which I had so utter an hatred and contempt."(p. 205) The Yahoo was described as a dirty and nasty animal and an animal that could not survive as a humane creature and Gulliver detested that but in time grew to accept that this was the race that he did belong to and did not want to associate himself with. As Gulliver and his Master talk more and more, he comes to the horrible conclusion that as Gulliver states, " He ought to have understood human nature much better than I supposed it possible for my Master to do, so it was easy to apply the character he gave of the yahoos to myself and my countrymen; and I believed I could yet make farther discoveries from my own observations." (P.231) This is where I believe Gulliver gives real definition to his own species and how they really did in fact characterize the yahoos and this gave him more reason to disassociate himself with his countryman. In the story I notice a bit of fighting within Gulliver as to the true abilities of the yahoo of the distant land that he tries to interact with the yahoo to find out if they do resemble human kind and to his demise they did. He came to the conclusion that "By what I could discover, the Yahoos appear to be the most untouchable of all animals, their capacities never to reaching higher then to draw or carry burthens." P.232 He also observes that they are cunning, malicious, treache...
