Authors often use satire and humor as literary devices to critique society and human behavior by employing irony, sarcasm, exaggeration, and parody to highlight the flaws, contradictions, and absurdities present in different aspects of society. Satire allows authors to cleverly and humorously point out societal issues, criticize social norms, and challenge the status quo. Through the use of humor, authors can engage readers in a more entertaining and accessible way, making their critique of society and human behavior more impactful and thought-provoking.
