Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Puritanism

Solution :

The correct option is Puritanism.

Hudibras is a famous English mock-heroic narrative poem written by Samuel Butler, published in three parts between 1663 and 1678.
The poem is a satirical masterpiece directed specifically against the religious and political excesses of the Puritans during the English Civil War and the Interregnum (the period under Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth).

The title character, Sir Hudibras, is depicted as a hypocritical, pedantic, and argumentative Presbyterian knight, representing the zealotry and contradictions of the Puritan faction.
Through biting satire and caricature, Butler reflects the Restoration-era revolt and backlash against the strict, moralistic, and often overbearing rule of Puritanism that had dominated England in the preceding decades.
