Satire and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Satire is a literary technique of writing or art which principally ridicules its subject (individuals, organizations, states) often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change.

It Ain’t Just Funny Satire is different from humor in that satire is written for a specific purpose other than simply to entertain.

Comedy Ladder Satire Comedy of Manners Farce Low Comedy

Elements of Satire: (All Satire falls under Comedy of Ideas) Satire—a comedic form intended to ridicule human folly and vice thereby provoking or preventing social change Irony—stating the opposite of what you mean for humorous effect Sarcasm—stating the opposite of what you mean for humorous effect with the intention to hurt someone’s feelings Ridicule—Extreme sarcasm (You want to smack the victim into the ground with humor!) Exaggeration-- enlarging the characteristics of something to mock it Hyperbole—extreme exaggeration Caricature—enlarging the characteristics of a person to ridicule them (Almost always used against politicians on Saturday Night Live) Stereotype—exaggeration of the general characteristics of a group Parody—exaggerating the conventions of a genre such as mocking soap operas for being melodramatic

Understatement—A form of irony in which something is intentionally represented as less than it is (ex: “Hank Aaron was a pretty good ball player.”) Litotes—extreme understatement (ex: “It’s nothing serious, I just have this tiny little tumor on the brain.” from Catcher in the Rye) Related Terms: Virtue—the good behaviors and beliefs of people. Vice—the bad behaviors of people. Crime, gambling, and drinking are generally referred to as vices. Folly—The incompetence and stupidity of people.
