Answer:

Satire is always a critique of some form of human behavior, vice, or folly, with the intent of persuading the audience to view it disdainfully and thereby encourage a degree of social change. Irony. Satire uses irony, often in a humorous way, to point out the problems with the behavior being critiqued.

Answer Explanation:

make the reader laugh at the foolishness and absurdities of human nature,

but they also possess an undercurrent of seriousness by shedding light on important social issues or commenting on corruption, hypocrisy, or incompetence.
