Swifts a modest proposal is an example of satire

English
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]1 year ago
7 0

The movie "A Modest Proposal" makes its point using a technique known as satire, which is the use of irony, comedy, or exaggeration to critique the beliefs of others. Swift plainly has no true desire for the Irish people to sell their children as food, but he is utilising the absurd idea to make a point.

What message is conveyed by Swift's poem?

Swift parodies similar booklets that were being distributed at the time with his song "A Modest Proposal." His use of language throughout the essay, particularly the term "modest" in the title, emphasises this by making fun of the fake humility that permeates the tone of many of his contemporaries' pamphlets. Although their approach appeared logical, their recommendations showed a level of haughtiness that was all too typical of the British ruling class.

<span>She screams.

"When Lennie explains that he likes to pet soft things, Curley's wife reveals that she too likes to feel silk and velvet, and she invites him to feel her hair, which is very soft. He does, but his big, clumsy fingers start to mess it up, and she angrily tells him to let go. As she tries to get her hair away from Lennie, he becomes scared and holds on more tightly. When she begins to scream, Lennie covers her mouth with his hand. A struggle ensues — Lennie panicking and Curley's wife's eyes "wild with terror" — until her body flops "like a fish" and then she is still."</span>
