Explanation
Satire uses humor, irony, and exaggeration to criticize and expose folly or vice. Target can be individuals, institutions, or society. Purpose: provoke change through ridicule, not just entertain.
Types: Horatian satire (gentle, humorous criticism) vs Juvenalian satire (harsh, angry attack). Swift used Juvenalian satire; Austen used Horatian. Both effective in different contexts.
Nigerian examples: Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe satirize corruption and colonial attitudes. Satire requires understanding the target to appreciate the criticism. Good satire is intelligent and purposeful.
