A Tale of a Tub
`A Tale of a Tub` by Jonathan Swift is a satirical allegory, exploring the rise of religious factions and the corruption of knowledge in 18th-century England. This novella dissects the allegorical journey of three brothers representing the three main branches of Christianity: Peter (Catholicism), Martin (Anglicanism), and Jack (Protestantism). Through humor and irony, Swift critiques religious fanaticism, philosophical inquiry, and the changing intellectual landscape. The work remains a significant example of satirical prose and social commentary. #Satire #Allegory #Religion #Humor #Enlightenment #Fiction #Criticism
