By wasting the scarce food in Ireland, the people are killing themselves; thus the children can be consumed saving food and at the same time making food. It is interesting to see how well Swift conveys his view towards the poor in this odd manor. Swift sees how the poor are treated by the affluent who may think that the impoverished are the reason for Ireland’s food problems.

However, J.B.’s faith in God is ill founded. J.B.’s faith in God is based on the fact that he believes God to be just, but is God really just? If he is then why does J.B. suffer so?
