The Yahoos are the complete opposite of the Houyhnhnms, and Swift uses them as a dark mirror of humankind. They embody all the ugliest qualities of people stripped of reason and morality. Gulliver describes them as:

  • Filthy: They wallow in dirt, are covered with their own filth, and live in degrading squalor.

  • Vicious: They are violent, greedy, and constantly fighting—even over worthless shiny stones, a satire of human obsession with wealth.

  • Brutish: They have no language, rational thought, or civil society. Their actions are driven only by base instincts like lust, hunger, and rage.

At first, Gulliver is disgusted and horrified by them. However, his greatest shock comes when he realizes that the Yahoos are not a separate beastly species but rather a grotesque parody of human beings themselves. Swift’s satire here is scathing: the Yahoos expose humanity’s tendency toward corruption, greed, violence, and irrationality.
