As nineteenth-century realism turned progressively more intrepid in its pursuit of describing and depicting way of life, it blurred irrevocably into the caustic and serious mode of literature higher named satire. Realism's activity of portraying the human grew to become indistinguishable from satire's directive to castigate the human. Introducing a completely new frame of mind approximately realism and the Victorian novel, Aaron Matz refers back to the fusion of realism and satire as 'satirical realism': it's a mode during which our shared folly and mistake are so entrenched in way of life, and so unchanging, that they wish no embellishment while rendered in fiction. targeting the novels of Eliot, Hardy, Gissing, and Conrad, and the theater of Ibsen, Matz argues that it used to be the transformation of Victorian realism into satire that granted it significant ethical authority, yet that led eventually to its demise.
