part of the long tradition of oral literature that was passed from
generation to generation before stories were written down.
• Satire and Folly Literature
• Satire is a kind of literature using absurdity, fan tasy, and
nonsense to criticize society. The fool is a character who,
through lack of virtue or balance, reveals the vices of society.
