Anticlimax


Anticlimax is the opposite of Climax-a sudden descent from higher to
lower. It is chiefly used for the purpose of satire or ridicule.
Examples:-
1. Here thou, great Anna ! whom three realms obey,
Dost sometimes counsel take-and sometimes tea.
2. And thou, Dalhousie, the great god of war,
Lieutenant-Colonel to the Earl of Mar.
