satire (countable and uncountable, plural satires) ( 1 uncountable) A literary device of writing or art which principally ridicules its subject often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change. Humor, irony, and exaggeration are often used to aid this. ( 2 countable) A satirical work.
Inseparable from any definition of satire is its corrective purpose, expressed through a critical mode which ridicules or otherwise attacks those conditions needing reformation in the opinion of the satirist. I believe there is no satire without this corrective purpose. Accordingly, the best definitions of satire should be formulated from a combination of its corrective intent and its literary method of execution.
