Answer:
In "A Modest Proposal", Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies.
This satirical hyperbole fully entitled "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public" mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor/disadvantaged, as well as British policy toward the Irish.
The narrator's irony of “A Modest Proposal" by Swift is that he can criticize the moral weakness of mothers who have immoral abortions or commit infanticide. One of the most ironic statements, the speaker balks at the idea of eating teenagers because this is “bordering upon cruelty," as if all of his other suggestions were not. Irony reflects the spirit of Enlightenment by causing people to think and reason out a solution to the problem of poverty in Ireland.
