Satire Help: 
There are two fundamental types of satire:
Horatian satire, which is gentle and urbane; and
Juvenalian satire, which is biting, bitter invective.
The burlesque form of satire can also be segregated into two distinct categories:
High burlesque, or taking subject matter which is crude in nature and treating it in a lofty style, or low
Low burlesque, taking subject matter traditionally dealt with in an epic or poetic fashion and degrading it. 

I have attached the Wife of Bath's Prologue under CT links. We are going to start working with this on Monday. You will do much better on our next assignment, if you have read it before Monday. Annotate. Cornell.
