Literary Parody

Literary parody is a creative work that imitates the style, tone, or themes of a particular author or work, often with humorous or satirical intent. It exaggerates certain elements to highlight their characteristics or to critique the original. Parody can serve as a form of homage or commentary, making familiar texts accessible and prompting new interpretations. It requires understanding the original work to effectively mimic and transform it, creating a playful or insightful reflection on its content or style.
