fruits." Satire is often strictly defined as a literary

within society. The satire is usually achieved
through the use of wit.
The satire is commonly framed within a vein of
irony. A satire may present itself as sarcastic, parody, exaggeration, juxtaposition, analogy and double
entendre. The essential ingredient in satire is irony. The irony professes to approve of the thing the
satirist wishes to deny.
There are two forms of satire: Horatian and Juvenalian. The Horatian is named for the Roman
satirist, Horace. The Horatian satire is playful. It criticizes a societal vice. The vice is usually identified
as foolish rather than evil. The tools employed in the Horatian satire include wit, exaggeration and
self-deprecating humor. The tone of the satire may be sympathetic.
The other satire is the Juvenalian. The Juvenalian is named after the Roman satirist Juvenal. The
Juvenalian satire is more contemptuous and abrasive. The Juvenalian satire seeks to disavow some
evil vice in society through scorn, outrage and savage ridicule. The tools employed in the Juvenalian
satire include irony, sarcasm, moral indignation and personal invectiveness. The Juvenalian has less
emphasis on humor, and is more pessimistic in tone.
