Elements of Satire

Candide Chapter 3
Elements of Satire

Hyperbole- Bugles, fifes, oboes, drums, and salvoes of artillery produced such a harmony as Hell itself could not rival.
Irony- Trembled like a philosopher.
Absurdity- It was now no more than a smoking ruin, for the Bulgars had burned it to the ground in accordance with the terms of international law.
Targeted- Kings.

What about other investigative actions? Maybe you could write about the Bulgars, etc.
