Journal 3-1 What is satire? What is the goal of satire? What do you associate with “satire”?

Defined Satire mainly exposes and ridicules evil and stupidity as these qualities manifest themselves in persons, groups of persons, ideas, institutions, customs or beliefs. Satire is born of the instinct to protest; it is protest become art and a refinement of anger.

Two types Horatian Satire Gentle Tries to evoke a smile Writer is urbane, sophisticated, man-of- the-world Attitude: Amused at foibles of men Juvenalian Satire Harsh Tries to arouse moral indignation, anger Writer is a serious moralist, a dedicated reformer Attitude: Bitter, denunciatory, attacking vices of men

Horatian or Juvenalian? You decide…

Satirical Devices All devices can work to create satire: tone, simile, metaphor, personification, allusion, juxtaposition, shift, contrast, repetition, etc. But here are a few new devices that are also found in satire.

Sarcasm A harsh, personally directed comment; to use praise to mock someone Example: To refer to a 98-pound weakling as a “real he-man”

Overstatement/ Exaggeration To say more than you mean to say; to exaggerate Example: I am so hungry, I could eat a horse.

Understatement To say less than you mean to say Example: When the computer crashes with your final project on it, and someone says, “Houston, we have a small problem here.”

Parody Mockery of a specific, known person, literary work, movie, event (imitation of a thing in such a way as to make it look ridiculous) Example: General MacArthur said, “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” Parodies: “Old blondes never fade, they just dye away.” Or, “Old soldiers never die, but young men do.” (dye is also a pun)

Irony Usually situational, the opposite of what is expected to happen happens Example: An Olympic swimmer drowns, a fire station burns down, etc.

Generalization Applying something to all cases, neglecting differences Example: He wears glasses. Of course he made an A.

Bathos To go from the serious to the ridiculous quickly Example: “I love my country, my job, my wife, and chocolate.”

Pun A play on words based on the similarity of their sounds; using words that have different meanings Example: What type of guitar do fish like to play? A bass guitar

Many modern TV shows combine satirical and comical elements. The most prominent TV satire is the animated series The Simpsons

Other examples are South Park Animated shows can easily use images of public figures and generally have greater latitude than conventional shows using actors.
