If a caricature of a famous politician figure exaggerated the size of his or her mouth far beyond its actual size what might the artist be suggesting about the figure?

Explanation:

Caricaturist that draws a politician with an exaggerated mouth is probably suggesting that this politician talks too much. It can be that politicians in question appears often in the media, having opinions about everything even when no one asked him or her. It also might be that the politician is “all work no action”, meaning they give a lot of empty promises without fulfilling anything, always speaking about what they will do, but never actually doing it. The exaggerated mouth will most likely be the critique – the artist probably finds this political figure to be a chatterbox, talking emptily and without the point, just to attract attention, even when they don’t have anything smart to say.

We know this meaning might be true because caricatures in the political context are usually satirical, trying to convey critique of a certain person or event in a humorous tone and in a symbolic way.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
