The art of satire and social commentary: From Animal Farm and Laugh or Lament to Wild Wise Weird

Abstract

Satire has long been a powerful way to encourage critical thinking, urging readers to reflect on the moral, political, and social forces that shape their world. By mixing humor with critique, satirical writing not only makes us laugh but also invites deeper reflection on human nature, social values, and how society is organized. This style of writing pushes readers to question the values and social norms we've long accepted without thought, as well as the societal structures we often take for granted.
