%T What Makes a Parody? A Comparison Between "Father William" by Lewis Carroll and "The Old Man’s Comforts and How He Gained Them" by Robert Southey
%U https://www.hausarbeiten.de/document/382955
%X This essay will compare Lewis Carol's poem and parody "Father Williams" to its original poem "The old man's comforts and how he gained them" by Robert Southey. The poem is part of Lewis Carroll's novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".  But what exactly makes a parody? A definition by Vladimir Propp is delivered and followed by some information about the authors and the content of their poems. With the help of several questions, the poems are analysed syntactically as well as semantically to answer the question, if Carroll's poem can be regarded as a parody of Southey's poem.
