22. How does the play make a satire on the feudal system?
Answer:
The play presents the bitter truth of the feudal system and its evil deeds against the common people. Here in the play, we find the suppression, domination, and dehumanisation of the feudal system. So terrorised are the cowherds, who live by the mercy and grace of their master or king. The lives of these people are fearful where the animal of the Lord is given more convenience, respect, and care than them. They both hide the truth about the dead bull and pretend to save their lives in front of the king. The play satirises the feudal system by presenting the dehumanisation and oppression of the feudal lord against their workers.
