Based on what you know about swift and the internal evidence in a modest proposal, how can you tell that the proposal in the essay is in fact the opposite of what the words themselves suggest

A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift is a sarcastic essay which deals with many ridiculous suggestions to find out a solution to poverty in Ireland. The title of the essay “A Modest Proposal” is the opposite of what the words themselves suggest. It is an ironic way of presenting not only an absurd outline to the economic and social Irish problem, but also an unusual and intricate idea. In his “proposal” he describe in a very complete and solid manner the process, statistics and advantages of his intended plan. In fact towards the end of the essay he claim that he has found “140 advantages by the proposal ….of highest importance”. Despite the fact that the problem described by Swift in Ireland in the 19th century is real and concrete, He decides to deal with this matter in a derisive manner in order to call the attention to the population and the government as well.
