The use of sarcasm, irony, exaggeration or the like in exposing, denouncing or ridiculing vice, folly, etc.
A literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly or vice are held up to scorn, ridicule or derision

5. Types of Satire: Horatian
Named for the Roman satirist Horace (65–8 BCE)
Playfully criticizes some social vice through gentle, mild, and light-hearted humour. It directs wit, exaggeration, and self-deprecating humour toward what it identifies as folly, rather than evil. Horatian satire's sympathetic tone is common in modern society.

6. Types of Satire: Juvenalian
Named after the Roman satirist Juvenal (late 1st century – early 2nd century CE), is more contemptuous and abrasive than the Horatian.
Addresses social evil through scorn, outrage, and savage ridicule. This form is often pessimistic, characterized by irony, sarcasm, moral indignation and personal invective, with less emphasis on humor.

7. A Modest Proposal
Juvenalian satire – not so much about humor as it is about criticizing society through sarcasm and exaggeration
