Jonathan Swift almost defines satire in this biting and brutal essay in which he suggests that poor (Catholic) Irish families should fatten up their children and sell them to the rich (Protestant) land owners, and rich gentlemen and ladies as food! Thus solving the twin problems of starving children and poverty in one blow.
A Modest Proposal is an essay that uses satire to make its point. A satire is a literary work that attacks or pokes fun at vices, abuses, stupidity, and/or any other fault or imperfection. Satire may make the reader laugh at, or feel disgust for the person or thing satirized. Mockingly, it criticizes someone or something, using wit and clever wording – and sometimes makes outrageous assertions or claims.
A Modest Proposal was originally printed in the form of a pamphlet. When the essay was first published in 1729, Swift was quickly attacked, and even accused of barbarity.
