The correct answer is parody.

Parody happens when authors try to imitate another piece of literature, or the entire genre, or another author, but do so in a humorous way, or sometimes, even a mocking one.

In literature, we can find a famous example of parody in Alexander Pope's narrative poem 'The R.ape of the Lock,' which is written in order to parody the genre of epic, heroic poems, and their seemingly grand themes.

aev [14]

Answer:

Saddened about human indifference

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Musee des Beaux Arts" by W. H. Auden.

The tone that the author uses in this poem is a sad and gloomy one. He is mostly saddened about the fact that people are often indifferent to the struggles, problems and even happy events of life. This indifference is at odds with the fact that the events are incredible, dreadful or miraculous, and therefore should command everyone's full attention. He describes how people have often been indifferent to even the most amazing events of life, such as the birth of Christ or the fall of Icarus. He also states that this level of indifference is often depicted in classical paintings.
