Why do the Lilliputians need to move Gulliver?

The Lilliputians need to move Gulliver because the Emperor has requested to see him. This situation highlights the political structure and the importance of hierarchy within Lilliputian society. The Emperor's authority prompts the subjects to take action, as they view Gulliver, a giant by their standards, as both a potential threat and an opportunity. By bringing him to the Emperor, the Lilliputians hope to manage and possibly leverage his presence for their own purposes, demonstrating the influence that leadership holds in the dynamics of the society. This reflects the theme of power and its implications for individuals in both Gulliver's world and the Lilliputians' world.
