Abstract
Satire might be defined as the whip with which the literary minded lashed the social, economic, and religious follies of the age In which they lived with a view not only to denounce the evil but to effect a reform. "Great evils create their own scourge," and as long as human nature exists, evil, too, will exist; and satire will continue to be the logical antidote, for "satire is born to scourge the persistent and ever-recurrent follies of the human creature as such."
