The correct answer is: to use humor and exaggeration to point out societal and cultural issues.
Satire was a major tool used in Enlightenment art and literature to criticize and critique various aspects of society and culture. The goal was not to simply demonstrate the good in the culture and society of that era, nor was it to accept traditional ideas without question or to show the upper class in a better light.
Instead, satire aimed to expose and highlight the flaws, hypocrisies, and follies of society through humorous and exaggerated portrayals. By using wit and irony, artists and writers could indirectly comment on social, political, and cultural issues, often mocking the powerful and challenging the status quo. Satire served as a form of social commentary and a means to provoke reflection and change in society. To understand the major goal of using satire in Enlightenment art and literature, it's important to recognize its purpose of critiquing and exposing societal and cultural issues through humor and exaggeration.
