“The Modest Proposal,” by Dr. Jonathan Swift, is about the a hunger problem and a poverty problem in Ireland and how the poor people’s babies do not have a good family. They have to beg for money and steal to live. The letter also gives a solution to this problem. Although the solution is very inhuman and careless for the poor.
The solution says that they should kill the poor people and make them into food for the rich and treat the poor people as livestock or animals. He also states ways to eat them, like by boiling them, roasting them, etc.. He even had recipes on them.
He also said to make clothe out of their skin. This solution is actually a logical solution IF you were not human, but since we are this solution is out of the question. In the letter it also states the benefits for the solution. It can solve the problem, help the economy, provide clothe and provide food. As I stated before this solution is good if you do not care about human lives.
