A Modest Proposal Rhetorical Analysis

I've read many articles in my day, and I am known to be a very sarcastic person at times but this piece “A Modest Proposal” is next level insane, now I may be wrong, but what I've gathered from this piece is basically cannibalism of young children. “A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled.” Now i haven't really heard about Dr. Jonathan Swift, nor do I really know about his background, but his use of satire in this article is preposterous. I only hope this is a use of satire and that Dr. Swift hasn't actually considered doing this. Because the thought of this alone, in my eyes, is absurd. This proposal has a very diverse use of satiric devices
mainly the use of sarcasm, emphatic irony effect, and of course the use of satire. Dr. Jonathan Swift's use of satirical devices in the “Modest Proposal” is almost like bait, he continues to reel you in with his use of words and deranged style. This approach resonates with his audience because he does grab your attention will his barbaric tone throughout the article. At the end of the proposal, Dr. Swift states that he has no children, therefore he has no motives to do such thing other than the general idea to help better the “publick good” by “advancing trade, relieving poor, and giving pleasure to the rich” I believe wholeheartedly that if Dr. Swift did have children of his own, this crazed proposal would not exist.
