The image of the other in satire of congenital and moral defects

Abstract

While the subject of the Other has remained prominent in satire, evident throughout the ages, human literary life, and life in general, is not without its shortcomings and flaws. Therefore, this type of poetry attempts to criticize, clarify, and expose these flaws on a personal or familial level, or at the societal and state levels. The poet's weapon in this regard is his tongue and his sharp language, expressing his dissatisfaction with the poor conditions or expressing the psychological crises they experienced in their lives. We find that social, economic, and cultural developments in society have clearly cast their shadows on the subject of satire.
