Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the use of irony and satire in Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" and Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letters from Birmingham Jail". The two works have used irony to convey their message effectively but whileKing's irony appears to be constructive, Swift's satire is nothing more than harsh commentary on the condition of the poor population of Ireland.
