Why is the comparision between the economic state of ireland and the cannibalism of infants appropriate in a modest proposal?

English
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was written anonymously by author Jonathan Swift in 1729. His modest proposal for the poor people of Ireland to stop being a burden is that they should start selling their children as food for the rich. Of course, that proposal is outrageous and cannot be taken seriously, nor did Swift intend it to.<u> He's using it to criticize the economic sate of Ireland, a state in which the rich get richer by shamelessly exploring the poorer classes. As Swift says, the rich "have already devoured most of the Parents." The inhuman proposal is appropriate, therefore, because it reflects the state of lack of empathy and excessive greed that rules Ireland. If the rich don't feel guilty for harming the poor so greatly, they might as well eat their children and not feel remorseful about it.</u>

List three examples of imagery from “when I was fair and young”
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Importune, Pine, and Scorn

Explanation:

When I was fair and young, then favor graced me.

Of many was I sought their mistress for to be,

But I did scorn them all and answered them therefore:

Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more.

How many weeping eyes I made to pine in woe,

How many sighing hearts I have not skill to show,

But I the prouder grew and still this spake therefore:

Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more.

Then spake fair Venus' son, that brave victorious boy,

Saying: You dainty dame, for that you be so coy,

I will so pluck your plumes as you shall say no more:

Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more.

As soon as he had said, such change grew in my breast

That neither night nor day I could take any rest.

Wherefore I did repent that I had said before:

Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more.
