Through the digression swift in his essay, the “Modest Proposal” tries to criticize the injustice of the English on the poor people of Ireland.
He stated the argument in a satire and he wants to reveal the England’s sheer irresponsible response to the poverty-stricken people of Ireland, which has happened due to a drought in 1700.
