The Origin of Satire

Answer 1

Satire originated from the comedies and tragedies of ancient greece and rome. These works expressed the author's political, social, and moral views through sarcasm, satire, and ridicule. Satire later occupied an important position in the history of European literature and became an important literary school.

The main feature of satirical literature is to reveal the weaknesses of society and human nature in a humorous, sarcastic and ironic way, and to guide people to change their behavior and attitude through criticism of society and human nature.

In the 20th century, satirical literature was more widely used and developed. Some famous satirists include Dickens, Faulkner, and Russia. Their works were full of deep thinking about social reality and revealing the weaknesses of human nature, which had a profound impact on later satirical literature.
