The document discusses different types of satire and parody found in classic works of literature. It provides examples and analysis of how Cervantes' Don Quixote uses both satire and parody to comment on societal ideals of chivalry versus reality. While meant to parody chivalric romances, Don Quixote ultimately juxtaposes and judges modern standards against the ideals of chivalry. The document also examines how Swift's Gulliver's Travels satirizes political issues in England through the fictional land of Lilliput and its petty disputes and conquests.

Satire, parody, and everything in between
- 1. Satire, Parody, and Everything in Between DON QUIXOTE A MODEST PROPOSAL GULLIVER’S TRAVELS
- 2. Satire vs. Parody The difference is the intention: ◦ Satire is stands for a social or political change. It depicts an anger or frustration trying to make the subject palatable. ◦ Parody is really meant for mocking and it may or may not incite the society. Parody is just pure entertainment and nothing else. It does not have a direct influence on the society.
- 4. Overt Purpose behind Don Quixote Overt purpose--to parody the genre of chivalric romance by showing what would happen if anyone were insane enough to take romantic, chivalric, courtly love conventions seriously and to try to live by them in the modern world (of ~1600)
- 5. What happens to that purpose? Cervantes thus juxtaposes concrete actuality (world of 1600) to high ideal values (chivalry) Chivalry is thus not exactly satirized or parodied, simply judged against modern standards--and modern standards are judged against chivalry.
- 6. The ordinary modern world vs. Don Quixote Ordinary World World of reality World of reason Actions prompted by material considerations Don Quixote’s World World of illusion World of imagination Actions prompted by high ideal motives
- 7. Effect on reader of Don Quixote We expect to laugh at Don Q and his mis-fitting into the modern world; we gradually come to admire him more than the sane folks surrounding him. Don Quixote’s strength and the consistency of his belief system (albeit a mad one) coupled to his high ideals, make his world of illusion more attractive than reality. This compelling attraction of DQ’s madness is first seen in in Sancho Panza, then in the reader
- 8. Man of La Mancha
- 9. Satire Poke fun at ◦ human institutions (e.g. Healthcare, government, education, banking) ◦ Human weaknesses/vices (e.g. greed, lust, gluttony, spite) Only meant to illuminate a societal issue, not provide solutions to it Makes us laugh, but also makes us think
- 10. A MODEST PROPOSAL For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the public. Pg. 583
- 13. A VOYAGE TO LILLIPUT The emperor believed himself to be the delight and terror of the universe, but it appeared quite absurd to Gulliver who was twelve times as tall as he. In his account of the two parties in the country, distinguished by the use of high and low heels. Religious disputes were laughed at in an account of a problem which divided the Lilliputians: “ Should eggs be broken at the big end or the little end?” The first part tells about his experience in Lilliput
- 14. Main Characters Lilliputians ◦ Inhabit Lilliput ◦ Only 6 inches tall ◦ Prone to conspiracies and jealousies Emperor ◦ Ruler of the Lilliputians ◦ Despite small size, loves being in control, exercising his power, and his large palace
- 15. Gulliver Meets the Lilliputians He finds that the population is split between 'Big Enders' and 'Little Enders‘ The Emperor who is keen to go to war with Belfuscu and the defecting 'Big Enders‘ The Empress who originally likes Gulliver, but is then offended when he urinates on buildings to put out a fire
- 16. Satire in Voyage to Lilliput Lilliput – England Blefuscu – France The Big-Endian/Little-Endian controversy satirizes the futility of British quarrels over religion. Gulliver sees the tiny Lilliputians as being vicious and unscrupulous –Swift makes them literally small to indicate the “small mindedness” of the British parliament.
- 17. Satire
- 18. What does the song satirize? How do you know? (provide evidence from either the lyrics or the video)
- 19. Parody
