There are two main types of satire. Horatian satire's main purpose is to make people laugh. As its purpose is to entertain, it is full of humour and light mockery. It also avoids negativity. On the other hand, Juvenalian satire, although sometimes funny, is more concerned with contributing to society. Juvenalian satire attempts to attack individuals, governments and institutions in order to force them to change their ways.
