Definition.

Pastiche: a literary work composed from elements borrowed either from various other writers or from a particular earlier author. The term can be used in a derogatory sense to indicate lack of originality, or more neutrally to refer to works that involve a deliberate and playfully imitative tribute to other writers. Pastiche differs from parody in using imitation as a form of flattery rather than mockery, and from plagiarism in its lack of deceptive intent.

Irony:
A The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

B An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.

C A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect.
