A review on satire component and patterns in Houshang Moradi Kermani's works

Houshang Moradi Kermani, born in 1323, is one of the successful novelists and comic artists in the field of children and teenager's literature. Using a wide range of Satire making mechanisms in Moradi Kermani's works is one of the reasons his works are significant. Regarding the results of this study, these mechanisms are mostly divided into two categories: "the mechanisms based on language usage" and "the mechanisms based on language content". In the first category, the satire is created based on language usage and form, specially its two or multiple meaning feature; whereas, in the second category which can be observed with a higher frequency in Moradi's works, the satire is made more on the basis of language content and creating the situations. However, each of these categories is divided to more subsets according to the different theories and patterns which will be discussed in detail in the present study. The results demonstrate that in Moradi's works, satire has been changed through the time and headed to a hidden satire with complex and unknown mechanisms for which the reader needs to excavate the inner layers of the writing to understand it. The purpose of this study is to categorize and analyze the mentioned mechanisms, using the descriptive-analytic method, considering the common theories and patterns of the satire world.
