description „A Tale of a Tub” resembles a ʻpuzzleʼ in which the structure of the book, the allegory, the satire, the unknown and even the identity of the real author are united into a single element, waiting to be revealed. These characteristics of the book make it possible for the author to build a satire targeting a wide variety of aspects taken from everyday life. The article aims at revealing the way Swift characterizes Peter, Martin and Jack by analyzing their language and the narrator‘s descriptions. It points out the similarity each of the younger brothers has with the oldest brother, despite their claims and efforts to appear very different from him. Swift‘s attitude towards them is also highlighted as an indicator of the way the reader should judge these characters.
