Bernier, Robert, and Claude Le Sauteur. 2005. Claude Le Sauteur. [Montréal]: Éditions de l'Homme., ill. col. p. 142Ridicule: This type of humour is driven by caricature.* An absolute antihero thrashes about in a cage in which he has been placed. This form of caricature elicits an ambiguous mixture of sympathy and amused contempt.
Ridiculing someone can also be a way of cutting a Titan (or tyrant...) down to size. - Gilbert Rozon, Les univers du rire, p. 12. -
