Estate satire refers to a form of literary or artistic criticism that focuses on the social hierarchies and class structures within a society, often highlighting the absurdities or injustices associated with these "estates" or classes. The term is particularly linked to the historical context of the Three Estates in medieval and early modern Europe, which categorized society into the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate), and the common people or peasantry (Third Estate).
