Title: definition of word
Post by: Blondie21 on June 24, 2014, 04:30:40 pm
What does the word 'caricature' mean in the following sentence:

"Of all characters, Jamie is the one who is most caricatured"

Soooo sorry if this is the wrong place to post this in.. I had no idea where to ask my question :P

I suppose mocked, or misrepresented in a malicious way by others. Or it could be that she's the character that is most like a caricature of a real-life person. (this isn't about summer heights high is it coz then the second definition makes more sense, but you're probably not talking about summer heights high (?))

To me it seems as if caricatured could mean his personality is portrayed as cartoony/animated (lively/excited) but it depends on the context

hey,
cause im fairly sure you're a lit kid.... are you referring to jamie savage, from rayson's tb?

caricatures are basically overblown exaggerations/stereotypes. in the case of jamie she's made out to be this negative controlling monster, every aspect of her is made to seem malicious and cruel.

if this is the wrong play then just ignore me haha.
