Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Literature - Africa, , language: English, abstract: This study sets out to examine satire in the Arunge poems of Sowande and Ayelaagbe with a view to analyse how they have employed satire and its devices to address socio-political and ethico-religious issues. The study adopted Sociology of Literature and Marxist Criticism theory. Twenty-four poems were purposively selected for their satirical relevance; sixteen poems were selected from Sowande's poems and eight poems from Ayelaagbe's. Four types of satire were found in the texts, namely social, political, religious and ethical satire. Satire is a universal phenomenon. Satire is a literary device employed by literary artistes for deriding and correcting vices. laced with satire. Previous works on Sowande's and Ayelaagbe's poems have concentrated on their historical background, style of presentation and literary analyses of the content of their poems but none has emphasised on the theme of satire in their poems.
