How is the theme of economic inequality evident in “a modest proposal” ?

English

notsponge [240]1 year ago
8 0

With "A Modest Proposal," Swift's persona draws attention to the economic disparity between Ireland and England. The author's satire addresses the topic of the exploitation of the Irish by wealthy Irish people on a social level and by the English on a political one using the themes of poverty, class, politics, mercantilism, and greed.

<h3>What does A Modest Proposal's key message entail?</h3>

Swift exhibits deep sympathy for Ireland's beggars at the outset of the essay by outlining their plight in considerable detail. Swift used a satirical tone in his essay "A Modest Proposal" to mock the public for failing to take action or even develop viable solutions to issues like fetal removal, population growth, and poverty.

Swift initially recognizes a problem in this satire: the miserable lives that the Irish poor are experiencing. Then he makes a plan to lessen this load by reducing the population, locating a new food source, and ending begging. The essay, which is disguised as an economic dissertation, suggests that Ireland's poverty be reduced by killing its underprivileged children and selling them to the English landowners as food. Swift's suggestion is a scathing critique of England's economic and legal exploitation of Ireland.

How would you characterize Claudio and the Prince’s reactions to Leonato and his brother’s accusations, as well as Benedick’s ch
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: They themselves felt justified in what they had done, so when they were accused they probably felt more offended because they thought they did the right thing. There also is the side that after hearing about Hero’s death they felt remorse. As for the challenge the prince was not really apart it so he was only affected by the loss of a good friend. Claudio’s pride told him he was right in what he did so he was going to defend his choice. This shows that they had conflicted feelings because they were right yet the girl had died.
