A cliché is a sentence or phrase that has been used too many times that it has lost its significance, for which it had been once important. Another characteristic of a cliché is that they intend to add greatness to a very repetitive and overly used concept.

In this essay, Swift makes a commentary about the view and value of personhood in his society. In this essay, he argues that poor Irish families should sell their children to wealthy English people in order for them to be eaten.

For example, we care deeply about celebrities dying, but we do not care much about the hundreds of people who die from war or poverty everyday.

This view is also influenced by values in society pushed by the media, such as the celebration and admiration of extremely wealthy people.
