Definition of Satire: Any work (TV, Movie, Short Story, Novel, Art, etc.) that uses wit or humor to critique or criticize human behavior, human nature, and/or social institutions (i.e. laws, school, government, religion, etc.). The point of satire is to change/modify its target (the thing it critiques/criticizes). Techniques: Irony: the term used to describe the contrast between what appears to be and what really is. Irony often highlights a gap between reality and our expectations or beliefs. ◦ Verbal irony: a mode of expression in which the author says one thing, but means the opposite ◦ Situational irony: an outcome of events that is contrary to what would normally be expected/hoped for ◦ Dramatic irony: events or facts not known to a character are known to another character and the reader  Hyperbole: a figure of speech involving great exaggeration; the effect may be satiric, sentimental, or comical  Understatement: a figure of speech that downplays something’s importance; the opposite of hyperbole; the effect may be satiric, sentimental, or comical  Inversion: a reversal, or twisting of something; turning something into its opposite  Dark Humor: the use of humor to temper, or reduce the sadness or negativity of a situation; dark humor is often ironic, and uses the irony to make a point
