Beschreibung
Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal is a satirical essay that addresses the dire poverty and overpopulation in 18th-century Ireland. With biting irony, Swift suggests an outrageous solution: the poor should sell their children as food to the wealthy. Through this shocking proposal, Swift critiques British colonialism, heartless policies, and societal indifference to the suffering of the Irish people. The essay remains a powerful and provocative piece of social commentary, using dark humor to expose the brutality of exploitation and the absurdity of inhumane solutions to serious issues.
