How is satire used in the text
Why is it used and to what effect
The word satire is an adjective which connotes sarcasm and ridicule.
In 'Why I want a wife' by Judy Syfers, satire is applied very effectively through the use of the wife speaking from a mans point of view and repetition. The idea that the wife is speaking from a males perspective is satirical in its self and she opens the article by representing stereotypical roles of a wife "I was ironing one evening" although she claims that she was ironing she may have included it to create a sense of satire and irony.
Also repetition is used throughout the article
