Swift's purpose for writing "A Modest Proposal" was to satirically critique British policy towards Ireland and highlight the harsh reality of poverty and inequality facing the Irish population. He used irony and exaggeration to draw attention to the absurdity of the situation and compel readers to reflect on the moral obligations of the government and society at large.
