help-political satire
Hi,
I have been searching through my finals topics and I found a question about political satire..I am supposed to retell the plot of one and I chose The Animal Farm by Orwell. However I am not sure whether I will be able to talk about the history of political satire?! Can any of you please suggest any of these, typical for each period? It would be good with the author as well... please...thanx
Stop asking where is God and keep asking where the hell is human!
Edit - Mistaken post - I will come back to this one.
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu by Joly is 19th century satire, Candide could be 17th and 18th century satire (Gulliver's travels also) and Animal Farm considers 20th century. There were also satirical works in ancient Rome and Greek, mostly poems but I am not sure about works or authors.
Hope it helps.

To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.
