One objection the narrator overlooks in A Modest Proposal is the moral and ethical concern regarding the proposal to use children for food. The narrator focuses on the economic benefits and ignores the implications of such a depraved solution.
The thesis of "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is that the impoverished Irish should sell their children to the rich as a source of income and food in order to alleviate their poverty. Swift uses this shocking proposal to satirize and criticize the exploitation and indifference of the British towards the Irish.
"A Modest Proposal" was written by Jonathan Swift in 1729.
Eat children to decrease population. However, he is not serious when he says this. He is only trying to point out how ridiculous some proposals are and to get the attention of those to realize all taking place in Ireland.
Swift's main purpose in "A Modest Proposal" is to satirize the British government's treatment of the Irish people and highlight the economic and social injustices faced by the Irish. He uses irony and exaggeration to critique the oppressive policies imposed by the British, suggesting a "modest proposal" to alleviate poverty in Ireland by proposing Irish infants be sold as food to wealthy English landlords.
A Modest Proposal criticizes British economic exploitation of Ireland by satirically suggesting that the Irish should sell their children as food to the wealthy. The essay also critiques the dehumanizing effects of poverty and the lack of empathy shown by the English toward the Irish.
A Modest Proposal is best described as a juvenile satire.
