title: The ear and the nose in literary parodies. the "hymn of deafness" by Du Bellay and "the nose" by Gogol.
abstract: Literary parody is a mode of expression characterized by irony. Every people, every language showcases its own genius in it. Du Bellay practices self-mockery. Gogol opts for a comic marked by the fantastic. Nevertheless, in both cases, parody is but a means to hide misery: behind its mask, human suffering is hinted at (Figures 1,2).
