SATIRE*
A work that ridicules its subject, through
the use of specific techniques. Although
satire is usually witty, and often very
funny, the purpose of satire is not 'just'
humor but criticism of an individual or a
group.
*Satire cheat sheet found here.
5 TECHNIQUES OF SATIRE*
1) Exaggeration:
To represent
something beyond
normal bounds so
that it becomes
ridiculous and its
faults can be
seen.
2) Irony
A literary device that
exploits a reader’s
expectations. Irony
occurs when what is
expected turns out
to be quite different
from what actually
happens.
3. Understatement
• The representation of something as smaller
or less significant than it really is; the
opposite of exaggeration.
4) Reversal:
To present the
opposite of the
normal order.
5)
Parody:
To imitate the techniques / style of
some person, place, or thing in order to
ridicule the original.
For parody to be successful, the reader
must know the original text that is being
ridiculed.
