Isolated From Society York Simon 038 Schuster

Nothing is more apparent in the genre of satire
than the ridicule of the vices and immoralities of
society. This focussing on the defects of society
as a whole doubles as a function of this genre of
literature and a framework within the plot or
theme of the novel or story. The satirist
emphasizes the ugly ramifications of society, but
to do so the satirist needs a vehicle for the
observation of society s actions and effects as a
whole. This society is often represented as a
microcosm or series o...

slave, fearing for his freedom, being persecuted
only on the grounds of the color of his skin. Jim
