| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of satire by nine poets who published their works during the poat-revolution era. Although some of the poems date back to t he pre-revolution era, the purpose of the study is not to show their re levance to the period. In specific te r ms the research paper aims at showing with what features of satire the themes of the selected poems are concerned with as well as the type of tones they employ. A general look at their con~ents vividly reveals to us that they focus on social problems, particularly on pretentiousness , abuses of technological discoveries and corruption . ~ost of the poets capita lize on the identity crisis and the pretentious behaviour of the youth , especially of the overseas educated. Some of the poets even go beyond the issues of their own country and at tempt to touch on international issues. Further scrutiny shows us the frequent utilization of irony. Moreover the tones that are employed in most of the satirical pieces are serious and only some of them humorous | en_US |
