Satire in the Holy Grail
Some examples of satire in the Holy Grail is when they use coconuts as their
“horses”. So they gallop around or skip as it would seem like, pretending
they are on actual horses. Another example of satire in the movie is when the
townsfolk dress up a certain lady as a witch. In that scene they are making fun of the Salem
witch trials and they dress up the lady and say she turned one of the men into a Newt.
But he “got better.” Other examples of Satire in the movie
are as follows when they finally find this certain bridge of death, this old man has to ask them certain questions. Sort of making fun of the whole Billy goats gruff story, where if they answer all three questions correctly
they can pass the bridge and live on.
