The poem âYou Are Old, Father Williamâ by Lewis Caroll mocks the elements and concepts of âThe Old Man's Comforts and How He Gained Themâ by Robert Southey. What technique of fiction is likely at play in Carroll's poem?
A) allegory
In the question it written the key word "mocks", so first of all, you should think automatically it's a parody. Bu after reading the poem, indeed, is a parody.Â
