Literary notes about farcical (AI summary)
The term farcical is often used to describe situations or characterizations that deliberately exaggerate absurdity and ridicule while sometimes hinting at a deeper social or political commentary. In literature, farcical passages can depict entire plots or individual behaviors as outrageously humorous or nonsensical, lending a playful yet incisive tone to the work. For instance, it is employed to highlight the absurdity in scenarios that might otherwise be grim or confusing, creating a contrast between intended seriousness and ludicrous action [1]. Similarly, by labeling adventures or trials as farcical, authors underscore the irony and often chaotic nature of human affairs, bridging the gap between theatrical comedy and biting satire [2], [3], [4].
