Irony
Please copy the following definition into the “Literary Terms” section of your notebook
Types of Irony
- Irony = is when one outcome is expected, but the opposite occurs, usually with a coincidental twist of events.
- Example: An earthquake occurring during an earthquake drill
Verbal Irony = Where one thing is said, but another, opposite meaning is inferred.
- Example: Hannibal the cannibal said, “I’d love to have you over for dinner.”
- Dramatic Irony = occurs when the audience knows something a character does not and the outcome or meaning is the opposite of what the character expects.
