What is Satire? How does a satirist attack? What does a satirist attack? What methods are used to convey the satirist’s intentions? What so satirist hope to achive? These are all relevant questions when discussing satire.
Moliere Tartuffe, and swift’s A Modest Proposal are very different types of writtings, covering different subjects. Indeed, Moliere succeeds in makinf us laugh, while swift’s project in political economy makes us recoil in horror. Yet both work are satire.
Using above questions as guideline, write an essay on 4-6 pages in which you
choose which of the two works, in your opinion, is the more effective satire and why (you must address the less effective satire as well)
(Do not use secondary sources. Take all qoutes from the texts. You may use the editors, and moliere’s prefatory commments and notes, Make sure to give credit.)
