“Poetry is, at bottom, a criticism of life”, says Matthew Arnold. We know that literature is not only a faithful artistic representation of life but also a medicine which cures the maladies of society. The purpose of correcting the wrongs in society is taken by some litterateurs to be great responsibility. They cannot accept the wrong way life is going. That is why they try to amend the errors committed by people. This practice is seen mainly in satirical works. In all literatures of all ages, there are plenty of writers who satirises the unjust social life. Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales; Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock, An Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot; Dryden’s Absalom and Achitophel, The Medal, Mac Flecknoe; Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels — these are all satires representing critical commentaries on the follies and vices of the mentioned writers’ respective times. However, this trend of writing satires is not a new. If we dig deep into literary history we shall discover that this practice had been there also in ancient literary jargon. The names of Juvenal, Horace and so on may be referred to in this connection. In fact the later satirists carry deep influences from these classical writers who flourished during the reign of Augustus Caesar, the nephew of Julius Caesar. Among the notable literary figures who enlightened the age of Augustus Caesar in Rome, the one whose contribution is unavoidable is Juvenal. In this paper, we are going to have an analytical study on Juvenal’s Tenth Satire.
