Why is it comical about the appearance of the lean and slippered pantaloon?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
The comical aspect of the lean and slippered pantaloon lies in the contrast between his former status as a respected figure in society and his current state of being aged and feeble. The image of him wearing slippers emphasizes his old age and implies a certain laziness or lack of vigor. This contrasts with the idea of the powerful and dignified figure he once was, making it humorous.
