Black comedy- "Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year"
Absurdity- "The constant breeders, besides the gain of eight shillings startling per annum by the sale of their children,"
Blue Humor-"We should soon see an honest emulation among the married women, which of them could bring the fattest child to the market"
Thesis Statement- In this tale of absurd theories in A Modest Proposal, Jonathan Swift utilizes subtle black comedy, constructive absurdity, and descriptive blue humor to resolve the problems of overpopulation.
