BATHOS. A term in
RHETORIC for a ludicrous
ANTICLIMAX: ‘For God, for country, and for Acme Gasworks’ (
Random House Dictionary, 1987). Satire is often deliberately bathetic; in Swift's
Gulliver's Travels (1726), the real-life disputes of Protestants and Catholics are presented as a Lilliputian war in which Big-Endians and Little-Endians fight over where to open a boiled egg.
