What does “sarcastic” mean to a writer?
As writers, we’re responsible for every line of dialogue and explanation in a screenplay or in other literature. But not every line we write is meant to be read the same way. There are times when we’re being facetious or sarcastic, so how do we make sure readers understand that?
Oh, and how would you define ‘sarcasm’ to someone? and what kinds of characters and people use it to get their points across?
Today, we’ll go over that kind of writing. We’ll define sarcasm, look at how you can clue your readers into your tone, and also look at some examples of sarcastic wit across the literature.
Sound good? Let’s dive in.
