Question

What is the difference between farce and satire?

Answer 1

Hint:
i) Farce is a type of humour in which the audience is entertained by circumstances that are exaggerated, extravagant, ludicrous, absurd, and implausible.
ii) Satire is the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or mockery to expose and condemn people's ignorance or vices, especially in the context of current events.

Complete answer:
Both satire and farce are comic genres that have the ability to make people laugh. However, satire is considered high humour, whereas farce is considered low comedy. A satirical work, furthermore, has the capacity to highlight society's follies and vices while amusing the audience.

Farce	Satire
A farce is a comedy that entertains its audience by using highly exaggerated scenarios. The majority of the time, these scenarios are overdone to the point that they become implausible.	Humor, irony, and exaggeration are frequently employed to help satire, which is a literary device in literature or art that primarily ridicules its topic as an intended way of provoking or preventing change.
Farce focuses on "what occurs" in the story/play.	Satire focuses on particular persons to ridicule.
To make the audience laugh, satire employs humour, irony, and wit.	Farce makes the audience laugh with slapstick humour, that is humour featuring stupid acts and unpleasant situations, and filthy jokes.

Note: Strong irony or sarcasm is a characteristic of satire, according to literary scholar Northrop Frye, "in satire, irony is militant," although parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all common in sarcastic speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm frequently declares support for the exact things the satirist is criticising.
