In "A Modest Proposal," Swift tries to be (and succeeds at being) shocking and outrageous in his suggestions and statements. For instance, he suggests that there are individuals in Ireland that would be properly used for food. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

"The R-pe of the Lock" is an example of a Horatian satire. The purpose of Horatian satires is mostly to entertain and mock in a funny way. It focuses on the peculiarities of human behaviour, particularly when these seem nonsensical. It has not desire to provide social criticism or to motivate social change.

On the other hand, "A Modest Proposal" is an example of Juvenalian satire. This type of writing can also be humorous, however, its main objective is to criticize society. It is mostly led by indignation or outrage at a particular injustice. In the case of Swift, the injustice was the treatment of poor Irish people.

Answer:

The words "slavery", "devils", and "murderer" evoke a sense of:

A. anger and injustice.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was a British writer and political philosopher. Paine supported the American revolution, claiming in his writings that England had no right to subjugate the American colonies.

That is, as a matter of fact, the theme of the passage we are analyzing here. Paine uses words such as "slavery", "devils", and "murderer" in order to convey feelings of anger and injustice. What England wants for itself and America is an owner-slave relationship. In doing so, the king of England is acting in a way that is not appeasing to God, an evil way. The king is, according to Paine, just like a regular thief or murderer.

As we can see, Paine is appealing to the readers' emotion, to their sense of justice, to convey his point. The same way that having one's house broken into by a burglar is enough to make anyone angry, so should be having your country broken into.
