We also discussed the differences between Horatian and Juvenalian satire to help better understand the satire project we will be doing.
HORATIAN
- humorous
- witty (smart humor)
- light-hearted
- laugh at your faults
- describes faults to be tolerated
- focuses on small details
JUVENALIAN
- bitter
- harsh
- abrasive
- pessimistic
- ironic
- mean
- sarcasm (morbid sarcasm)
- focuses on the big picture
- exposes social injustices
Satire- purpose: to hold a mirror up to society and to make fun of the subject
