She proved that the poet created plebeian in approval satire, that he was not the uncritical admirer of life in “ the peaceful and joyful county". He also had the tendency to hyperbolize phenomena pictures from the social life. However, everything that was the subject of criticism for the 16th century critics, in the plebeian and epistolary literature of 17th and 18th century was seen and was presented as the social norm.
