Answer:

Caricature.

Step-by-step explanation:

A caricature, in literature, is the representation, depiction, or description of a character´s traits and properties through the use of exaggeration, or sometimes also by the use of over-simplification. Caricatures can be complimentary or insulting, aiming at portraying the character under a positive or negative light, respectively. Caricatures are often used for political purposes, although they can be used for merely aesthetic purposes as well.
