Title: Parody and Satire
Let’s make a point… and be funny.
PARODY & SATIRE
Parody*
A work that imitates another work in
order to ridicule, ironically comment
on, or poke some affectionate fun at
the work itself or the subject of the
work.
Parody often mocks or ridicules a
serious work of literature, music,
artwork or film — for satirical or
humorous purposes.

SATIRE*
A work that ridicules its subject, through
the use of specific techniques. Although
satire is usually witty, and often very
funny, the purpose of satire is not 'just'
humor but criticism of an individual or a
group.
.
4 TECHNIQUES OF SATIRE*
1) Exaggeration:
To represent
something beyond
normal bounds so
that it becomes
ridiculous and its
faults can be
seen.
2) Incongruity:
To present things
that are out of place
or are absurd in
relation to their
surroundings.
3) Reversal:
To present the
opposite of the
normal order.
4)
Parody:
To imitate the techniques / style of some
person, place, or thing in order to
ridicule the original.
For parody to be successful, the reader
must know the original text that is being
ridiculed.

Although satire is
usually meant to be
funny, the purpose of
satire is not primarily
humor in itself so much
as an attack on
something of which the
author strongly
disapproves, using the
weapon of wit.
A work created to mock,
comment on, or poke fun
at an original work, its
subject, author, style, or
some other target, by
means of humorous,
satiric or ironic imitation

between satire and parody.

AF DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Each new slide will have new
discussion questions (totaling four
questions).
Person one writes down the answers
their group members provide then
signs their own name under what they
wrote.
Pass the paper to your left and begin
discussing the next question.
DISCUSSION QUESTION 1.
Discuss Boxer. What role does he play on
the farm?
Why does Napoleon seem to feel
threatened by him?
In what ways might one view the betrayal
of Boxer as an alternative climax of the
novel (if we consider Napoleon’s
banishment of Snowball as the true
climax)?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 2.
Paying particular attention to the
character of Squealer, how is language
used as an instrument of social
control?
How do the pigs rewrite history?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 3.
Do you think Animal Farm’s
message would come across
effectively to someone who knows
nothing about Soviet history or the
conflict between Stalin and Trotsky?
What might such a reader make of
the story?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 4.
Of all of the characters in Animal
Farm, are there any who seem to
represent the point of view of the
author?
Which of the animals or people do
you think come(s) closest to achieving
Orwell’s perspective on Animal Farm?
