Notes
IRONY Irony is a special kind of contrast between appearance and reality- usually one in which reality is the opposite of what it seems.
There are three types of irony.Slide4
Notes
Situational irony- This is a contrast between what a reader or character expects and what actually exists or happens. Slide5
Notes
Dramatic irony- this is when you, the reader or viewer, knows something that the character does not know. Example- In Romeo & Juliet we know that Juliet is not actually dead, but Romeo thinks she is and commits suicide. Slide6
Notes
Verbal irony- This is when someone says something, but means the opposite. Usually it is said in an exaggerated way, like saying “Great!” when something bad has actually happened. Can also be thought of as sarcasm.
“Enough," he said; "the cough's a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough."
"True --true," I replied; "and, indeed, I had no intention of alarming you unnecessarily --but you should use all proper caution. A draught of this Medoc will defend us from the damps.”Slide7
