What does Mark Twain satirize in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note"?
It was a lovely dinner-party of fourteen. The Duke and Duchess of Shoreditch, and their daughter the Lady Anne-Grace-Eleanor-Celeste-and-so-forth-and-so-forth-de-Bohun, the Earl and Countess of Newgate, Viscount Cheapside, Lord and Lady Blatherskite, some untitled people of both sexes, the minister and his wife and daughter, and his daughter's visiting friend, an English girl of twenty-two, named Portia Langham, whom I fell in love with in two minutes, and she with me—I could see it without glasses. There was still another guest, an American—but I am a little ahead of my story.

Answer:

The social commentary that Mark Twain does in " The £1,000,000 Bank Note" is that the money does not corrupt men, but it actually reveals their true self and the kind men they are.

Explanation:

Social commentaries aim to critique a specific aspect of society and they have been used in literature for a long time. In "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note", Twain suggests that Londoners usually judge people based on how much money they have and, at the same time, the author tries to warn them against the dangers of trusting people for their appearance or the power they have gained thanks to their money. I hope this helps!
