Well, from what I've been able to guess, the Book of Jonah was written as a satire; notice the content of the last part of the book: a town of degenerate sinners converts on Jonah's say-so, and afterwards, Jonah eagerly awaits their destruction by God and has a hissy fit when God doesn't do so. The targets are essentially the same kind of people who are bull-headed enough to say that it's possible for a man to survive three days alive in a fish's bowels because the Bible says it's possible.
