Satire in “The Storyteller”

In my last journal prompt, i have talked about the things that Saki have been poking at somehow. In the story, the bachelor's story, the aunt, and the kids are all poking at the behavior of parents and the soceity. The aunt is a image of modern parents, trying to tell the kids to behave all the time, and in the end its not really helping anyways. In the bachelor's story, it shows a contrast of the view of aunt. Bertha was behaving well and doing everything that her parents order to do. In the end she was devoured by a wolf. I believe this story is a satire on the society, goodness and obediance are not always rewarded. Bertha could be a innocent being in the soceity, and the bad people would use this obediance as one of your weakness and turn it back to you. Such as a rapist and a innocent girl, the rapist will look at your well being and possible give you a candy and lure you onto his car. A very friendly manner can result in a terrible consequence like the history of the native americans, their goodness to the spanish caused them a disaster as slaves and killed. The goodness can be turned back to you and obediance are not always rewarded. The kids can also be referred to the kids of modern society, we ask why, we don't take stupid answers like that's better. The words shown in the story also shows humor. In the discription of the pigs, he use some odd descriptions such as black pigs instead of regular pink pigs. A phrase horribly good, pulling the children's atttention and the reader's attention. The storyteller consists of lots of great thoughts and satire is one of the main. Goodness and obedaince are not always reewarded.
