Literary Humor

Literary humor is a form of humor found within written works, relying on language, style, and literary devices to entertain and provoke thought. It includes wordplay, satire, irony, parody, and witty observations crafted by the author to evoke amusement, highlight human folly, or challenge norms. Unlike casual jokes, literary humor often requires interpretation and appreciation of context, style, and deeper meanings. It enriches literature by engaging readers’ intellect and emotions, making the reading experience more insightful and enjoyable through clever use of language and storytelling techniques.
