1 Satire Exploring Words that Challenge

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

3 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 Parody To imitate the techniques and/ or the style of person, place, or thing. “Beat It” Link: https://youtu.be/oRdxUFDoQe0https://youtu.be/oRdxUFDoQe0
