Jonathan Swift wrote a satirical proposal to poke fun at society. I think this work is interesting because Swift chose a very extreme subject to get a metaphorical point across. In this proposal Swift has rationalized eating babies and made it seem as if it was a sincere proposition. The essay is very convincing, and I have the feeling that someone of low intelligence would take this proposition into consideration.
Jonathan Swift’s intentions were to raise awareness of the unfair treatment of the Irish and prejudice attitudes toward lower class or homeless citizens. Swift lays out the stereotypes and harsh viewpoint of an upper-class citizen in that during that particular time period. My impression is that Swift also intended to shock
