1) A savage satire of British/landlord exploitation of poor Irish — Swift exposes how policies and absentee landlords treat the Irish as economic resources rather than human beings.
2) A critique of dehumanizing economic reasoning — by proposing to eat children he mocks the cold, purely utilitarian logic that reduces people to numbers or commodities.
3) Use of irony and shock to provoke moral reform — the essay deliberately exaggerates to force readers to recognize the need for humane, practical social and political solutions.
