Jonathan Swift displays the hidden arts of a broomstick. The author explains that we are "strong
and lusty, in a thriving condition, wearing his own hair on his head." Nevertheless, as we wait for time to continue, we start to lose those "hairs" similar the the resemblance of hair on a broomstick. Swift's main message is explained in one of his excerpts, "Partial
judges that we are of our own excellencies, and other men's defaults!"
The use of imagery Swift uses further explains how those with the
"strong, lusty hair in thriving condition" have been tricked by their
society.
They take different indignities towards these approaches with the false presentation they put
on, which Swift explains "puts
on a periwig, valuing himself upon an unnatural bundle of hairs." In a different perspective, people take pride in their imperfections, leaving the
"bundle of hairs" the society forces them to use. Swift starts off this
excerpt with sarcasm and imagery, trying to make his point. Then he
switches to a serious attitude to further explain his extended metaphor.
