A Study of Satire

 A literary work that ridicules its subject in order to make a comment or criticism about it  Four techniques of satire:  Exaggeration  Incongruity  Reversal  Parody

Exaggeration To enlarge, increase, or represent something beyond normal bounds so that it becomes ridiculous and its faults can be seen. Caricature is the exaggeration of a physical feature or trait and is often seen in political cartoons.

Incongruity To present something that is out of place or absurd in relation to its surroundings Oxymoron, metaphor, and irony are used a lot here.

Reversal To present the opposite of the normal order (the order of events, hierarchical order) Order of events…ex. serving dessert before the main dish or having breakfast for dinner. Hierarchical order…Like having a young child make the decisions for a family or a delivery boy making the decisions for a company president.

Parody To imitate the techniques and/or style of some person, place, or thing in order to comment on or criticize the original Audience must be familiar with the original text/person/situation that is being ridiculed in order for parody to work.
