Definition Satire is a kind of writing that ridicules its subject, usually some type of human weakness, vice, or folly, in order to bring about a change, such as social or political reform

Satire Clearly Understood Satire – blend of criticism and humor for the purposes of CORRECTION OR IMPROVEMENT Sarcasm– simple abuse consisting of a series of insults If the creators of satire don’t have a reform or a solution in mind but are simply holding up an aspect of the world as ridiculous, then they are creating irony or gallows humor rather than satire.

Common Features Verbal Irony - contrast between what is said and what is really meant--this can draw attention to the absurdity of certain ideas or beliefs or can emphasize important points Outrageous exaggerations Deadpan understatement Warped logic--absurd statements delivered as common sense Improbable situations Ridiculous names
