“Satire
is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but
their own.”
Jonathan Swift
Satire
Definition:
"Satire (lat.
medley, dish of colourful fruits) is a
technique
used in
drama and the
performing arts,
fiction,
journalism,
and occasionally in
poetry, the
graphic arts,
and more commonly popular
media.
Although satire is usually witty, and often very funny, the
purpose of satire is not primarily
humour but
criticism of an event, an individual or a group in a
clever
manner." Source:
