    between Swift and the Proposer. Swift is the italicized proposals, and the Proposer is everything else in the text. Swift gave reasonable proposals to help fix the poverty and famine in Ireland. The Proposer gave a more outlandish suggestion, and that was to eat babies. The Proposer is very thorough with his explanation on why the people of Ireland should eat their children, but Swift is more to the point with his counter arguments towards the end of the text. There is a difference between Swift and
