The main goal of this paper is to examine three theories of humor through the lens of two famous English novels, Animal Farm and The Lord of the Flies, offering a deeper understanding of humor's role in literature. To achieve this, we define humor while considering all three theories. The novelty of this paper lies in its in-depth analysis of these theories as applied to the selected novels. The study focuses on key aspects: first, an analysis of some of the main characters in each novel; and second, a comparative exploration of the satirical tone used to depict the collapse of power in both works. These aspects will be analyzed through the lens of the three primary humor theories: Superiority Theory, Incongruity Theory, and Relief Theory.
