The language throughout has been amazingly controlled but extremely sharp and witty which succeeds to establish his point through creating exaggerations commonly seen in satires. Swift has lashed at several sectors of people directly related to and responsible for this disgraceful situation of Ireland and the inability of the political authority to do anything constructive and effective for the population living in utter distress.
