Mock Epic

A mock epic is a literary work that humorously imitates the style and conventions of traditional epic poetry, but on a smaller or more trivial subject. It uses elevated language, grandiose themes, and formal tone to describe everyday activities or silly topics, highlighting the contrast between the serious style and humorous content. This parody style aims to entertain by exaggerating the importance of mundane matters, often offering satirical or playful critique of societal norms or behaviors.
