Entertainment / Literature / Travesty: Debasement of a serious subject or serious literary work either accidentally or through intentional satire--especially through treating a dignified topic in a silly or inappropriate manner. For instance, Boileau describes one travesty of Virgil's Aeneid by stating, 'Dido and Aeneas are made to speak like fishwives and ruffians.' In many cases, the author of intentional travesties uses a mock-serious tone and is deliberately heavy-handed in his treatment. (Latin trans + vestis, 'switched clothing')
