SATIRE
Satire is often strictly defined as a literary genre
or form; although, in practice, it is also found in
the graphic and
performing arts. In satire, human or individual
vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up
to censure by means of ridicule, derision,
burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the
intent to bring about improvement. Although
satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of
satire is not primarily humour in itself so much as
an attack on something of which the author strongly
disapproves, using the weapon of wit.
A very common, almost defining feature of satire is
its strong vein of irony or sarcasm, but parody,
burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison,
analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used
in satirical speech and writing. The essential
point, however, is that "in satire, irony is
militant". This "militant irony" (or sarcasm) often
professes to approve (or at least accept as natural)
the very things the satirist actually wishes to
attack.
