which renders his satire all the more powerful. Simplicity and Directness? Swift is always most unsurpassed in the writing. He defined a good style as “proper words in proper places.”Analysis? Swift is one of the greatest writers of satiric prose. No reader of his can escape being impressed by the great simplicity, directness and vigor of his style. ? Easy, clear, simple and concrete diction, unplicated syntax, economy and conciseness of language mark all his writings. Seldom is there ornament or singularity of any kind. His simplicities, more often than not, as a camouflage for insidious intentions, for big serious matters, and an outward earnestness, simplicity, innocence and an apparently cold impartial tone render his satire all the more powerful and effective. ? It is a book simple enough for a child, and yet plex enough to carry an adult beyond his depth. It is a satire on the 18th century English society, touching upon the political, religious, legal, military, scientific, philosophical as well as literary institutions, about almost every aspect of the society. Bitterly satirical, the book take great pains to bring to light the wickedness of the then English society, with its tyranny, its political intrigues and corruption, its aggressive wars and colonialism, its religious disputes and persecution, and its ruthless oppression and exploitation of the mon people. Some narrative features? The novel is a fantasy and a realistic work of fiction. The language, as is typical of all Swift’s works, is very simple, unadorned, straightforward and effective. It is noted for its exceptionally tidy structural arrangement. The four seemingly independent parts are linked up by the central idea of social satire and make up an organic whole. Some ments? While social exposure and satire of the book is generally acknowledged, there have been great controversies over its deeper intention, especially with Part Four, What sort of thing is man? This is certainly the central question to the book. Some people are shocked by its open blunt “negativeness” towards human beings, others feel satisfied with its religious implication that, man in his development from primitive forms of life, has achieved only a very limited rationality and morality.1.
