definition

 Juvenalian satire, in literature, any bitter and ironic criticism of contemporary

persons and institutions that is filled with personal invective, angry moral indignation,
and pessimism. The name alludes to the Latin satirist Juvenal, who, in the 1st century
ad, brilliantly denounced Roman society, the rich and powerful, and the discomforts
and dangers of city life. masters = Jonathon Swift in Gullivers Travels DARKER, not
focused on humor
Horatian satire is the gentlest of the types of satire. It does not aim to find evil in

things; instead, it is done from an affectionate, almost loving point of view. The
emphasis is put on humor and on making fun of human dysfunction. While the subject
of the fun can be social vices, it is usually an individual's follies that are teased. A key
element of Horatian satire, unlike most other types, is that the audience is also
laughing at themselves as well as at the subject of the mockery.
