Which literary term best describes the action of clarissa handing the baron scissors to use as his weapon in canto ii

Canto III is part of  a poem written by Alexander Pope and published in 1714.  The literary term that best describes the situation that occurs in Canto III when Clarissa hands the Baron pair of scissors (in the poem they are described as "two edge weapon") would be the one of satire.

A satire is a literary technique used by writers to expose and criticize the  foolishness and corruption of a certain character or society by the use of humor, irony, exaggeration or ridicule.

In the poem, Pope used satire because he based that scene in a real life occurrence, in which a British Lord, cut off a lock of hair from the head of the beautiful Arabella Fermor. This incident set a battle royal between the families of the Lord and the family of Arabella.

the author motivation is to show the power of animal-human relationships.

while his customary satire is present in mark twain's short story "the notorious jumping frog of calaveras county," there is a cloaking of this satire as twain's narrator is not directly involved. another literary device that you could build a thesis around is the use by twain of hyperbole.
