Exploring Satire: A Deep Dive into Its Techniques and Impact on Society

This study examines the intricacies of satire as a literary genre distinguished by its witty humor aimed at illuminating serious societal issues. By exploring various methods, including hyperbole, understatement, and irony, we analyze two primary paths of social commentary: Horatian and Juvenalian satire. While Horatian satire employs gentler ridicule to encourage laughter, Juvenalian satire utilizes sharper sarcasm to provoke thought and often contempt. Clips from popular media, like Shrek and The Daily Show, serve as case studies to identify elements of satire and its effectiveness in commentary.
