<h3>What is Satire?
</h3>
Satire is the generous use of humor, exaggeration, or irony to criticize a government official or their policies. It is a literary device employed by many authors and poets to draw attention to the social conditions of the less-privileged members of society or the excesses of their governments.
<h3>Swift's "A Modest Proposal"
</h3>
In many instances, Swift satirically makes an economic proposal to the powers that be in Ireland. He suggests that the Lords should use the bodies of the Irish poor as meat delicacies. The satirical solution, according to Jonathan Swift, would lessen the population of the Irish poor, ensuring financial abundance and affordable food for the rich.
Thus, the author of <em>"A Modest Proposal" </em>satirizes the unfortunate circumstances in which the Irish poor lived while their British lords lorded it over them.
