The main characters represent different branches of the church. On the island of the Houyhnhnms, Gulliver encounters vile creatures known as Yahoos. Swift uses these creatures to satirize the evils of human virtue. These repulsive creatures are enslaved by horses, which ironically symbolize the ideals of humanity. Swift dehumanizes the human race by amplifying the cruelty and corruption that were characteristic of his society.
