    The writings of Cynic would be categorised as Antithetical.

    Explanation:

    This refers to a literary device where one with a faulty vision sees things as they are and not as they appear.

    Interestingly, a blackguard is one who is rude or corrupt.

    An antithesis simply means the opposite ideas placed side by side.

    Cheers!
