One of the purposes of satire is to highlight a common flaw in society. This flaw can either take the form of a vice (a serious, often illegal activity) or a folly (a minor character flaw).  While first originating in Ancient Greece, satire is still used today as a method of using (often dark) humour or  simple savagery, to get a serious point across, targeting negative aspects of society that, in the opinion of the satirists, should be changed. Satire consists of several elements, which must be deconstructed in order to determine its effectiveness. These are context, audience, target, vice or folly, and purpose or message.

His back was pressed up against the stone doorway that was protecting him from the savage onslaught of the wind. His tattered cloak flapping about him wildly as tried to convince himself that he could outlast it. Zeb shivered and kept his eyes tight shut and his hooded head tucked under part of his cloak. His empty coin purse hung limply on his belt and his empty stomach groaned. Unable to pay for a room anywhere he had been turned away to endure on the street. Although the comfort of telling himself he'd find work the next day gave him a little hope, it didn't help his current situation.

Trying to take his mind off his misery he went over and over what Catherine had told him. Little of it was any use at present, but the future was still wide open. Knowing their enemies were at each other's throats was also good news, where there was tension and mistrust there was weakness. Without unity they would crumble from within those impenetrable walls.
