anticlimax| Disappointing conclusion or sudden descent from the important to the trivial, for example, the placing of the least impressive item last in a list or sequence. Anticlimax is often used in literature as comedy but can have a serious side, particularly in tragedy or tragicomedy, when characters meet their deaths pathetically. |
