Why is Pope’s poem considered Horatian and Swift’s essay considered Juvenalian? Support your answer with examples from the texts.

Alexander Pope's poem is more gentle and fun, hilarious while Jonathan Swift's essay is more serious, bitter and scathing.

Explanation:

Alexander Pope's satirical poem Ra pe of the Lock delves into the unnecessary act of prioritizing a mere incident of a loss of a lock of hair into something akin to an epic battle. He even includes nymphs and other 'fairy' beings into the 'war' that is between the supporters of Belinda and the Count. Moreover, his satire provides fun and humor to it, gently describing the hilarious event as a big war.

On the other hand, Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal provides a satire on the grim reality of Ireland's poor community. He uses sharp and bitter words to hit his target, though it still is a satirical work. His proposal of using children as meat sources, which will help all, is hilarious and even outrageous, yet provides a scathing attack on the incumbent government/ authority.

Though the two works are both satires, they differ in their pattern, their motive, style, and mood of the texts. While Pope's poem is a hilarious and gentle work like the Horatian satire, Swift's essay is more serious and bitter, harsh just like Juvenalian satire. Horatian satire uses lighthearted humor to talk about a small issue that is emphasized into something serious and epic. Juvenal, on the other hand, deals with the more serious and biting approach of issues.
