It’s Hard to Fight in Pajamas

Firebug

It’s Hard to Fight in Pajamas is the heading of chapter 11. Its significance lies in the comic contrast between physical conflict and pajamas: the title makes the prospect of fighting sound awkward and undignified rather than heroic.

Title and Tone

The phrase sets an irreverent, domestic register through its clash of images. It identifies the chapter but, on its own, does not establish who fights, why they fight, or whether pajamas figure in the events.
