How can you compare and contrast the satire in the works of Jonathan Swift and Oliver Goldsmith?

Answer 1

Jonathan Swift has a tone somewhere between humorous to unrestricted or brutal. His writings are focused on the impact they have on his readers. Oliver Goldsmith has a more sentimental and caring tone. He was originally a novelist but then became an essayist which means his writings are all essays. He is famous for dramas and poetry.

They are both famous authors from the eighteenth century and are both famous for their satirical and comical writings. They are both satirists for social issues because of the arrogance, hypocrisy and falsehood of the upper classes, mainly the ones who are "in charge" of society.
