Answer:

To entertain through humor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Burlesque, when used in a literary sense, refers to a style that mocks a subject by making him appear ridiculous or absurd in some way. This usually leads to a humorous outcome. Burlesque intends to ridicule serious works, and it often follows one of two paths. First, burlesque can make a work seem silly when it is in fact very serious. The other one is to make a silly topic appear to be extremely important.
