The purpose of satire in literature

Satire is a tradition that was passed from the past because it was a kind of comedy that many people enjoyed. The overall purpose of satire is to make moral or political change in society through using critical humor on the stage. The satire is a behavior and performance that an actor chose to use as a punishment toward these faults committed by politicians. Since satire was so popular, it eventually led people to act and behave differently in the future. I think this is right for literature to critique anyone because that's the purpose of satire, no one is safe from satire. People would often remember and entertained by the satire because it’s funny and hilarious, but if it’s performed correctly, the message would stick with them even after they left the theatre. Moreover, Frogs is probably the first satire that I have ever read.
