What is the author's style in The Marriage of Figaro by Pierre Beaumarchais?

A satirical play is one that uses hurnor and wit to criticize human nature, society, and institutions. Beaumarchais's play, though comic, never shies away from pressing social issues. However, he uses indirect satire, relying upon the ridiculous behavior of his characters to make his point. An example of indirect satire is when the Count is forced to hide behind the chair in Suzanne's room.
