<span>Satire is a genre of literature in which individuals, corporation, government or society are ridiculed in purpose of constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society in order to correct or shape opinions and behavior. But, satire can’t be effective in shaping behavior or opinions if the audience is always in on the joke and never being targeted. The effectiveness of satiric work is mirrored in sole comprehension of the targeted group of individuals that they are wrong, and should correct their opinions and behavior. Many satiric writers believe that satires should be medicine disguised as candy, so it would be easier for targeted group to accept it. If only non-targeted audience comprehend the joke (main idea of satiric work), the satire would not be effective as they agree with author’s criticism and there is no need for them to correct their behavior nor their opinions.</span>

Lisa [10]

I guess you're talking about Animal Farm. Well, the irony is that the animals came together and fought to overthrow the farmers who, they believed, were their greatest enemies, but in fact the greatest enemy of animals was "power." Once the farmers were defeated, the animals achieved their dreamed freedom, until "power" fell on the pigs, they began another kind of exploration and the animals lost their freedom again.  That is, as much as there is a fight against an enemy, another will arise, once he has power to concentrate in the hands of a single person, or a single group.

When I talk about this "power", I am referring to being able to be superior and oppressing others, because I think it is more certain, stronger, smarter, etc.

I hope it helps.
