Satire Exploring Words that Challenge

What is Satire? ▪ Writing designed to make its readers feel critical of: – Themselves – Their fellow humans – Their society

Why write satire? ▪ Satirists are dissatisfied with things as they are, and they want to make them better. – Satire allows the reader/viewer to laugh at the selfish, mean-spirited, willful ignorance of the characters in hope that we see ourselves and mend our ways.

Two Modes of Satire Horatian Gentle, mild humor Problem seen as foolish Juvenalian Angry, savage ridicule Problem seen as urgent, severe, or evil

*The Individual *The Group *The “System” Target Audiences of Satire

The Rhetorical/Satirical Triangle Speaker Target Audience These 3 elements must be present for effective satire.

Devices Satirists Employ ▪ Exaggeration ▪ Understatement ▪ Irony ▪ Incongruity ▪ Reversal/Inversion ▪ Parody

Exaggeration To enlarge, increase, or represent something beyond normal bounds so that it becomes ridiculous and its faults can be seen.

Understatement The opposite of exaggeration about something serious; makes less of a deal of something than it is.

Irony Things are opposite of what they seem. Something small and trivial is made to seem important or serious.

Incongruity To present things that are out of place or are absurd in relation to its surrounding.

Reversal/Inversion To present the opposite of the normal order.

Parody To imitate the techniques and/ or the style of person, place, or thing. “Beat It” Link:

Parody “Eat It” Link: Identify: Speaker? Audience? Target?

Forms Satirists Use 1.Fantasy 2. Mock Heroics 3. Formal Proposal 4. Praise/Blame ▪ Setting is an imaginary world ▪ Takes a realistic problem or dispute and turn it into an exaggerated epic battle ▪ Prepare a highly serious, highly rational proposal for action on this problem, but make it totally unreasonable and exaggerated. ▪ Take something that is bad and praise it without boundary, or take something good and cut it to shreds

Identify the: Speaker? Audience? Target? Message?
