    How far is it appropriate to consider The Importance of Being Earnest as a Satire on the hypocrisy of ‘polite’ British society? It can be argued that Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays (2000) explores in depth the idea of satire on the hypocrisy of ‘polite’ British society.

The play is set in middle class Victorian London

    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‚ by the famous Mark Twain‚ is a great example of satire that uses humor to reflect Twain’s opinions. He makes things seem so stupid and idiotic so that the readers also side with him in the many lessons he is trying to prove‚ because it seems the logical way to think when he makes things so foolish. Not many people think about the comical side of Twain’s novel‚ and just focus on the lessons. But they never focus on how the lessons are expressed and in Huck Finn’s

    Satire and parody are two types of comedy that have been used all the way back to the era of Mark Twain. Satire resembles parody but it is critical and is used to educate or make a change.

Characters trade smart remarks‚ but they seem oblivious to the humor and absurdity of their statements.
