A man offers a proposal to the suffering that Ireland faces under the tyranny of Britain. Using satirical language and dark humor, Swift describes graphically how Ireland should use infants as a food source, hunting sport, and source of income in order to salvage and end the hell that they are already living as a means to shock the public into realizing that they must not wait to have someone find the solution but create a solution for themselves.
