Satir is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satir, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. Although satir is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
A common feature of satir is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satir, irony is militant"—but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirecal speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to attack.
Satir is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics[1]
