In The Lady's Dressing Room and A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift, Swift implements a satirical identity character, he may be a concerned economist who suggests that children are traded as food to the rich to elevate the public good within society or a distraught man in the middle of a lady's dressing room rationalizing a woman's moral appearance, Swift's satirical personality resides in the personality of the sympathetic cruelties of his own moral society and his opinions. In both lyrics, Swift's satirical arguments and statements are both supported through the methods and techniques of metaphorical language, irony, structure, and imagery. Swift satirizes these techniques with the irony of both lyrics as she is able to illustrate inhumanity while simultaneously alleviating rational principles based solely on the general public. In The Lady's Dressing Room, Swift signals her satirical literary persona to her readers through the use of both metaphorical language and tone. Swift begins to describe the external notions of women, that women within her society must be completely refined to fit into her male society, as their image would be negatively distorted if seen or done differently. Within this poem, Swift establishes this artificial facade through the use of irony and satire to distinguish the disparity between what is actually stated by the speaker and what is truly implied by the author's intentions. Throughout the poem, Swift establishes this emphasis on metaphor to reveal to his readers the illusion that the correct appearance of the woman is false, as women for Swift have many faces and hidden qualities; as exemplified in the introduction, it states: “Fi...... half of the paper ......t 2462). Swift also causes his readers to portray wives as nurturers, as shown in the third paragraph of the second page, as he states, "True, a child new from its mother may be nourished by her milk for a calendar year, with little other nourishment ; at most not exceeding the value of two shillings which the mother can certainly obtain, or the value in surplus, by her legitimate occupation as a beggar" (Swift 2463). This gives Swift's arguments great persuasion and influence. With this in mind, Swift uses these techniques to engage with his readers' intellect within the satirical elements of the essay itself. Since eating children is unimaginable and portraying women in a negative light is figuratively immoral, simply encouraging them to consider the resolution carries an arrogance of rhetorical confidence that would provoke such thought in both texts..
