A Modest Proposal is a satirical essay written by Jonathan Swift to raise awareness to the government about the poor and what they should do about it.

self-knowledge. A song that captures the tragic flaw of Biff Loman, the tragic hero from Death of a Salesman, is “Great Pretender” by Queen. “Great Pretender” tells a tale of the lying narrator who lies so well that he or she can make other people perceive him or her differently from the narrator’s true form. “I seem to be what I’m not.” The lyrics tell the audience that the great pretender is living a superficial life because he or she desires security, even if it is false. “Pretending I’m doing well.”
