Professor Spencer:
Nice mention of Huck Finn, Jennifer. In a lot of ways, Huck Finn was a reaction against the ways that the South was already starting to romanticize the era before the Civil War--a reaction against the attitude we see in movies like Gone With The Wind.
It's interesting to note that the government has, at times, been quite invested in stopping satire, including Moliére's works. When the king of France forbade the performance of Tartuffe, he used these words:
His extreme delicacy to religious matters can not suffer this resemblance of vice to virtue, which could be mistaken for each other; although one does not doubt the good intentions of the author, even so he forbids it in public, and deprived himself of this pleasure, in order not to allow it to be abused by others, less capable of making a just discernment of it... (Ray, LaCouture, 2007)
In plain English, the king was saying that "some people might get the wrong idea, so we might as well forbid Tartuffe from being played at all." This is a bit like saying that some people won't wear a helmet, so we might as well all stop riding bikes!
So governments can make some pretty ridiculous decisions for the "good of the people." Satire can serve as a call to the general common sense of the people.
How does forbidding satire actually make the satire more useful?
