Answer:

He wanted to correct human failings and remind people of basic human kindnesses.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Swift, this was the main purpose of publishing Gulliver's Travels. Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels in order for it to be a satire of our own world. The characters in the novel act in ways that resemble the failings of humans. Swift wanted to write in this way in order to remind people of their failings and encourage them to correct them. He also wanted to remind people of basic human kindness, and its importance in the world.
