In all biblical scriptures, there is an implicit correlation between sight and judgment: not God's judgment, but the ability of a human being to express a judgment in a given situation. Matthew 6:22 states, “the eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore, if [the] eye ​​is healthy, [the] whole body will be full of light.” One of Jesus' miracles provides another sight-related example: “Then Jesus placed his hands again on [the man's] eyes; and he opened his eyes, and his sight returned, and he saw everything clearly" (Mark 8:25). Jonathan Swift and Jane Austen both had connections to the church and their experiences influenced their lyrics. In Gulliver's Travels, Gulliver emphasizes the importance of his glasses. Without them, he would not be able to see clearly, and later states that his glasses protect his eyes from the Lilliputians when they try to attack him. Throughout the text, however, Gulliver makes poor decisions regarding his family and his loyalty to England. He is blind to his own flaws and blind to the corrupt nature of his homeland. I argue that these ideas are related. In a way, Gulliver's inability to see the flaws in his own life parallels his poor eyesight. Furthermore, Elizabeth Bennet demonstrates this idea through the description of her “beautiful eyes.” Although Elizabeth correctly judges every character in the novel, she fails in her attempts to read both Darcy and Wickham. In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth is the only character to correctly discern the true nature of each of the other members in the novel, thus a representation of her "beautiful eyes". However, his ability to read each character's actions and motivations fails in reference to Wickham and Darcy. She falls prey to her first impressions of each of these men and… middle of paper… they even had moments where they misjudged themselves. These moments are necessary to see the growth of both characters and to reveal this theme of sight and judgment within both texts. In the Oxford English Dictionary, “sight” is defined as “the power or faculty of seeing; sight: also attributed to the heart, the soul, etc.” This definition is demonstrated in both methods in Gulliver's Travels and Pride and Prejudice. Furthermore, the Oxford English Dictionary defines “judgment” as “the action or result of forming or giving an opinion.” With these definitions as a point of reference, readers can conclude that Elizabeth and Gulliver repeatedly demonstrate poor judgment. These definitions help structure the topic as concisely as possible: A person's ability to see directly influences their ability to make judgments..
