Satire relies for its effect on the caricaturing of certain people or situations, in order to draw attention to, and to critique, certain patterns of behaviour or beliefs. In its deliberate exaggeration it is prone to making sweeping generalisations, though those engaging with the satire are generally expected to understand it is not offered, nor to be taken, literally.
