A caricature is a humorous depiction of a person, a situation or behavior, for example, in which the most characteristic features are greatly exaggerated. They can be for entertainment or insult. To achieve this goal, hyperbole is used, while some things and phenomena may be omitted or simplified.
Caricatures are often associated with cartoons, but they also appear in puppetry and theater and as characters. A satire is an example of this, it is an art form in which social criticism is given in a humorous way.
