‘Mac Flecknoe’, written by John Dryden in 1676, is a brilliant example of satirical poetry that masterfully combines fun and humour with sharp literary criticism. The poem is a mock-heroic, a genre that exaggerates trivial subjects by placing them in the elevated style of epic poetry, creating a humorous contrast. Dryden’s primary target is Thomas Shadwell, a contemporary poet and playwright whom Dryden considered inferior in talent and wit. By portraying Shadwell as the heir to the throne of dullness, Dryden transforms literary criticism into an entertaining spectacle. The humour in _________ ______ _____ ________ ___.
