Özet:

Poets have the ability of expressing love, hope, anger, passion, disappointment and hate with poems, which is their art, as different from other people. These abilities have sometimes caused poets to be loved in return, to get a favor from a leader and sometimes to lose their life. Satire -as a method used by poets nearly from the ancient times- is one of the oldest literary genres in many countries from eastern literature to the western literature, and poets of satires paid a great price in many periods because of their poems. Moreover, satire-as one of the most popular genres of today- can still be the reason to punish the poets due to the serious style. Some of the researches conducted on satire insistently emphasize that satire is not a type of humor. Therefore, the scope of satire has been explained in this research we conducted and its relation with humor has been analyzed, their differences and common points have been tried to be explained.
