However, some people fear the developing of their country becoming one of the darkest region making them want to leave their home or have to learn to love their country, or how Swift refers to it “kingdom.” In A Modest Proposal the word “kingdom” is used as a symbol trying to represent something great. When people hear the word kingdom they…

classes that exists in society. The technique of parody is also evident. Swift presents the ideas in the narrative as his, yet what he is really aiming to expose is the Protestant mode of thinking and their mentality towards the impoverished Catholic people in…

Rich are in rule and employ the poor. If the rich don’t acknowledge this problem, the threat of the issue will continue to worsen in the Kingdom of Ireland. There are over one million people who live in the Kingdom, of which, two hundred thousand are poor breeders. Subtracting thirty thousand people who provide for their children, fifty thousand who die of disease, miscarriage and accidents, a total of over a hundred thousand poor children would remain. Swift then notes that his American…

“A young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious… food” This is a line used by Jonathan Swift in A Modest Proposal. In this writing, Jonathan Swift expresses his belief that the children of poor women should be sold and eaten. He is, of course, using this writing as a satire and is to not be taken seriously. He meant to bring light to all of the poverty in Ireland. The literary devices of ethos, pathos, and logos can be seen throughout the essay. Ethos, the…

with all the people who are living in poverty. Jonathan Swift wanted to bring attention to this important topic, and he decided that instead of writing seriously about this problem, he would use satire and black humor.

The short story, written in 1914, is the fourth short story in a collection written by James Joyce called “Dubliners.” Each story in the collection portrays a part of the life of a middle-class family living in Dublin, Ireland in the 1900s. “Eveline” depicts the story of a young girl, Eveline, who is…

A Modest Proposal, a famous satire written by Jonathan Swift cunningly tells of the tragedy that is taking place in Ireland. Swift’s descriptive storytelling and whimsical tone bring life to this satire. These two reasons are why I chose to use A Modest Proposal as my text to analyze. To have a better understanding of how to analyze this satire the literary element of my choosing will be style, tone, and irony. Style, tone, and irony each have specific distinct ways to allude the reader to what…

1. The speaker seems to be a man who resides in the upper class section of Ireland who believes in the Protestants over anyone else in the country, hence his attitude towards the poorer people. 2. The tone of this work tends to remain rather blunt and at the same time has a professional and serious quality, which in turn makes it seem more real. For example, when he first proposes the idea of using children as food, “a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious…
