Question

A writer makes fun of literary critics by "reviewing" an

exact copy of Don Quixote written by someone other than
Miguel de Cervantes.
Which term best describes the story?
A. Frame narrative
B. Parody
C. Allegory
D. Parable

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Parody.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parody is a vulgar, exaggerated, or comic imitation of another work known to the public, through which the original work is ridiculed, even by small references to it. Broadly speaking, a parody is a sub-form of a satire: the story (the text or the image) is imitated in an ironic way. This can happen in a harmless as well as a corrosive way. The success of the parody will be greater the more famous the original and the parodied (magnified) elements are therefore more recognizable.
