TYPES OF SATIRE Juvenalian Horatian
JUVENALIAN SATIRE After the Roman satirist Juvenal Formal satire in which the speaker attacks vice and error with contempt and indignation Juvenalian satire in its realism and its harshness is in strong contrast to Horatian satire.
HORATION SATIRE After the Roman satirist Horace Satire in which the voice is indulgent, tolerant, amused, and witty. The speaker holds up to gentle ridicule the absurdities and follies of human beings Aims at producing in the reader not the anger of a Juvenal, but a wry smile.
