fighting over which end of an egg to break. Swift also parodies the political parties within England. The Tory party is represented by the Low Heels while the Whigs are represented by the High Heels. Considering that Swift himself changed parties, he must have understood that political allegiance was important. Yet, political bickering is often about such unimportant matters as the height of one's heels. It is interesting to note that even though lying is seen as a terrible offense in Lilliput, Flimnap tells a huge lie (that Gulliver slept with Flimnap's wife) and gets away with it. Apart from the ludicrous physical implications of a giant having relations with a Lilliputian, the problem here is that the society must be able to enforce its norm against lying for the law to matter. This may also be a commentary on the seeming ability of those in positions of power to get away with breaking the law. When the law comes
The use of satire in Swift's A Modest Proposal According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary satire is a way of criticizing a person, an idea or an institution in which you use humor to show their faults or weaknesses; a piece of writing in that uses that type of criticism: political/social satire (1180). Jonathan Swift, one of the ambiguous and interesting figure of the Anglo-Irish Literary Tradition, the greatest pamphleteers, and a master of satire, denotes that 'Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind reception it meets with in the world, and that so very few are offended with it' (Swift). The current essay attempts to analyze the use of satire in Jonathan Swift's most discussed pamphlet A Modest Proposal and the purposes of using this specific genre. The pamphlet reveals a vast number of social and religious problems: one of the
London in a year. In 1713 he became Dean of St. Patrick's cathedral in Dublin, where he witnessed the poor conditions of the working class which inspired him to criticize the Engish colonial policy. He wrote 'A Modest Proposal' in which he suggest that poor families could sell their children for sustenance. 'The Battle of Books', 'A Tale of the Tub' he satirized the church. 'Gulliver's Travels' was published in 1726. it is a skillful satire of contemporary England in four parts. The main character is Lemuel Gulliver.
For example, the two fulsome panegyrics addressed to Charles II, Astraea Redux and To His Sacred Majesty, testify to a desire to be a representative voice. The poem Annus Mirabilis, is both a tribute to London’s ordeal during the Great Fire and a patriotic and emphatic royalist statement in the face of metropolitan resentment of the restored monarchy. Dryden’s years writing in the theatre helped him to shift focus in his verse towards character. Dryden’s satire was a mixture of reasoned argument, refined technique and incentive. Dryden also defended the authority of the Church with his philosophico-religious poems: A Laymans Faith and The Hind and the Panther. (Sanders, pp. 253-261; Britannica) 14. Restoration drama (Dryden, Etheridge, Wycherley, Congreve). Regarding Restoration drama, it is apparent that many authors drew inspiration from Shakespeare. For example, this can be seen to be true with Dryden. His play All for Love: or, The

Cultured but lusty court. Sexual hints flourished. Stimulated and fostered the stricter disciplines of poetic satire, which fed on contradictions, the ironies and hypocrisies of society. Sharpness of wit, degree of profanity (pühaduseteotus) or ribaldry (nilbus), cultivated laziness, ministerially abetted (õhutatud) twists of laws and distractions of his mistresses.

The making of a new nation. The Enlightenment in America. The emergence of the notion of the American Dream. The great Enlighteners: Crèvecoeur, Jefferson, Paine, Franklin. The American Enlightenment is the intellectual thriving period in the United States in the midtolate 18th century (17151789), especially as it relates to American Revolution on the one hand and the European Enlightenment on the other. Influenced by the scientific revolution of the 17th century and the humanist period during the Renaissance, the Enlightenment took scientific reasoning and applied it to human nature, society, and religion. American Enlightenment a gradual but powerful awakening that established the ideals of democracy, liberty, and religious tolerance in the people of America. If there were just one development that directly caused the American Revolution and uplifted the intellectual culture of the continent while it was only a British colony, it would be the American Enlightenment.

"sense of irony." His use of simile is carried throughout the Inferno and enhances the effect and meaning of his experience in Hell. While it is natural for man to think of Hell as a place, Pound understands it as a condition of man's mental state in life, continued after death. The tendency to see objects and qualities only in one dimension limiting and drawing the reader away from the true meaning of Dante's journey. Pound sees the Inferno as a satire on man's aimless turmoil and restlessness that continues to the root of Hell where it finds its end at the gate of Purgatory. Dante is represented as truth, intelligence, and love, and Pound generates a positive portrayal of Dante's work. Tate, Maritain, and Pound give insightful and pertinent observations of the Inferno, however, one major aspect, which was overlooked in their critiques, was the theological truths Dante uncovered on his imaginary journey through Hell
