how does the characterization of the aunt create satire?
she overreacts to the story.
she has fallen in love with the bachelor.
she complains about everything.

Explanation:

For the children: Their enthusiastic approval of the bachelor's subversive, morally unorthodox story (where the "good" heroine dies and pigs live) satirizes the rigid, overly sentimental moral lessons adults force on children. They reject the aunt's boring, proper tales, exposing how adult moralizing is out of touch with children's actual tastes.
For the aunt: Her extreme, indignant reaction to the bachelor's story (claiming it undermines years of teaching) satirizes the pretension of adults who cling to rigid, outdated moral standards and refuse to acknowledge that their attempts to educate are ineffective.
