Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric iterature is its freshness, Its originality of perspective. Satire rarely offers Criginal ideas, Instead it presents the familar in a new form. Satists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look ‘at familar conditons from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foalish, harmful or effected. Satire Jars us out of Complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values. we unquestioningly accept are false. Don Quixote ‘makes chivalry seem absurd, Brave New Word ridicules the pretensions of scisnce, A Modast Proposal dramatizes starvation by ‘advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original, Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley and people were aware of famine before Swit. twas not the oxiginalty of the idea that mage. these satires popular, It was the manner of expression the satiric method that made them interesting and entertaining. Sates are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethicaly instructive They ‘are stimulating and refreshing beceuse with commonsense briskness they brush avray illusions and secondhand opinions. With Spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude, Satire exists because there is need for it It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an ireverent ‘reminder that they lived in a world of plattudinous thinking, cheap moralizin, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hhear, and read in popular mesia is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of i. Soldiers rarely hold the ideals that movies atribute to them, nor do ordinary citizens devote their ives to unselfish service of humanity.
