THE NOVEL IS CRITICAL OF THE SUPERFICIALITIES AND INJUSTICES OF AUSTENS SOCIETY‚ BUT NOT OF THE WAY THAT SOCIETY IS FUNDAMENTALLY ORGANISED.

For instance‚ Oedipa’s husband works at a radio station called “KCUF” (Pynchon 6). For skim readers‚ the name just registers as another of Pynchon’s ridiculous creations but the name in itself is a parody because the title is really “fuck” spelt backwards. There is no meaning‚ it does not further the plot‚ as Macadam says‚ “it is merely a part of the text‚ not something to be taken in isolation.” In this way‚ there is no traditional satirical purpose

written for purposes other than moral uplift. Author Lewis Carroll invented a dreamworld where Alice‚ a remarkably self-possessed child‚ encounters a series of adult eccentrics (among them‚ the Mad Hatter‚ the Ugly Duchess‚ the Mock Turtle)‚ who utter parodies of well known‚ platitudinous poems of the period and otherwise indulge in bizarre illogic and imperious but ineffectual command. For many years the most widely read English-language work for children‚ the book has had many famous illustrators‚ including

For this assignment‚ I chose to evaluate Charlie Chaplin’s final speech in the movie‚ “The Great Dictator”. The movie was meant to parody Adolf Hitler and to condemn the Nazi party and it’s beliefs and values. The plot focuses on how a barber gets mistaken for the dictator and the barber is made to give a speech. The barber takes advantage of this opportunity to express how he feels about World War II and everything else that has happened. The purpose of this speech was to persuade. His character
