British Literature II
Parody is a form of satire that imitates the style and content of a particular work or genre in a humorous or exaggerated manner. It serves to mock or comment on the original work, often highlighting its flaws or absurdities, and is a prominent characteristic of postmodern literature, which embraces playfulness and intertextuality. This technique can reveal deeper societal critiques by juxtaposing the familiar with the absurd.
