Satire is “attacking someone in speech/ writing by making them seem ridiculous and/or a humorously piece of writing.” Satire’s three types are Horatian, Juvenile, and Menippean. Horatian satire is gentle and sympathetic, which the subject is mildly made fun of with engaging wit. The subject is not directly attacked. This form of satire tends to ask the audience to laugh at themselves as much as the players. Juvenalian satire is harsh and bitter. They condemn and hold the subject in contempt. It is more judgmental and asks the audience to respond with indignation. Menippean satires the structure of the world as well as its subject matter. It tends to mix genres, collapse categories, and intentionally ridicule everything.
