What is Understanding Satire about?
Satire is a literary technique that ridicules its subject in order to provoke or prevent change. It uses techniques like diminution, inflation, and juxtaposition to exaggerate real-life situations and make their faults apparent. Some works of satire are subtle enough that the satirical nature is lost on some audiences, who criticize the work without realizing it is intended as satire. When used effectively, satire can cause social change by revealing absurdities, as in the cases of Doonesbury and This Hour
