Originary Satire is a manner in which one or more actors are represented as occupants of the center by virtue of their utterances. Satire sees everyone as an aspirant for some center, and through exact reproduction of an act or utterance, in a slightly changed context (e.g. if a declarative came from another source, or in answer to another question), it is enough to expose the imperative embedded in the declarative, making it the most mimetic art form. The mark of strong satire is that one is hard-pressed to distinguish original from copy, with the only difference being that we see and say about the latter what we ignore or remain silent about in the former.
