The target may be anything from a philosophical system like optimism (Candide by Voltaire), or a social evil, like hypocrisy (Binibining Phatupat by Juan Crisostomo Soto), or an individual person, like a dictator (State of War by Ninotchka Rosca). The ultimate aim of satire is to reform society by exposing its vices.
