One example of ambiguity in "A Modest Proposal" is Swift's use of irony in suggesting that the poor Irish should sell their children as food to the wealthy, which can be interpreted as a critique of the British oppression of the Irish.
Another instance is the dual meaning of the term "breeders" in the text, which can be seen as both a dehumanizing label for the poor Irish families and a commentary on the British perception of them as mere producers of children without regard for their well-being.
