irony, as Swift's proposal in "A Modest Proposal" is actually outlandish and unrealistic, suggesting that people should eat children as a solution to poverty in Ireland. His statement is meant to highlight the absurdity of his proposal and to provoke thought on the harsh realities of poverty and social injustice.
