Satire is a genre of literature in which vices and abuses are held up to ridicule with the intent of shaming. It can be directed towards corporations, governments, individuals or society at large. Satire is usually humorous, however, it serves a purpose of social criticism. Satire often uses techniques such as parody, exaggeration, and analogies.
In <em>A Modest Proposal</em>, by <em>Jonathan Swift</em>, the author provides a "proposal" for dealing with the economic problems of Ireland. Swift says that the economy could be improved if parents sold their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This text fits as satire for two main reasons:
- <em>Its use of language:</em> irony, exaggeration and parody are all used extensively.
- <em>It serves a purpose of social criticism:</em> its intention is to mock attitudes towards the poor, as well as British attitudes towards Irish citizens.
