Satire

Satire is a literary genre that uses humor, irony, and exaggeration to criticize and expose the flaws and vices of society, politics, or individuals. Its primary purpose is to offer a critical message or underlying social commentary. In contrast, comedy is a genre that aims to entertain and amuse through humor, wit, and satire. While comedy may explore social norms and human relationships in a humorous way, it does not necessarily have a critical message or underlying social commentary. Satire is often more pointed and critical, while comedy is more lighthearted and playful.
