Satire

Aim of Satire As a literary technique, the writer attempts to expose/criticize some sort of shortcoming or corruption in the society around him. The hope is that this work may instill change in humanity through it. Humor is often the main avenue used (light material is easier to accept than dark, ominous material) -Verbal Irony – What is said is not necessarily what is meant (sarcasm). Fictional characters represent real people in an obvious way The piece chooses the main follies or flaws in the topic

Reversal Presents the opposite of normal order…chronological order, social order, hierarchical order
