"A Modest Proposal" is a satirical essay by Jonathan Swift that uses exaggerated and provocative suggestions to criticize heartless attitudes toward the Irish poor and British policies. The essay employs irony and hyperbole to highlight societal injustices, notably by proposing an outrageous solution to Ireland’s economic struggles. Recognized for its sharp wit and sustained irony, the work remains a notable example of satirical writing.
