THREE TYPES OF IRONY
1. Verbal Irony• the use of words to express
something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning.
• In other words, you say one thing but actually mean the opposite.
Verbal Irony• For example, in Julius Caesar, Mark Antony
repeatedly says "and Brutus is an honorable man" in the famous “Friends, Romans, countrymen” speech…
…but really, I think Brutus is pond scum becausehe stabbed Caesar!
Verbal Irony is NOT the same thing as a lie.
With verbal irony, the speaker intends others to know that what he or she means is different or opposite from what is said.
I absolutely love my haircut and feel
sensational!
Verbal Irony often involves a SARCASTIC tone
Honey, your room is absolutely beautiful. I’ve never been
prouder of you than right now!
2. Situational Irony• There is an incongruity--a big
difference (sometimes 180 degrees)--between what is logically expected to happen and what actually happens.
Situational Irony Examples• A man goes over the giant waterfall Niagara
Falls in a barrel and survives, only to take a cleanup shower where he slips on the soap and dies from trauma.
• An anti-technology website• A woman in need of medical help is run over
by an ambulance.
IRONIC by Alanis Morissette A traffic jam when you're already lateA no-smoking sign on your cigarette breakIt's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knifeIt's meeting the man of my dreamsAnd then meeting his beautiful wifeAnd isn't it ironic... don't you thinkA little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...Is there situational irony in this song?
NO!• Situational Irony = Bad Luck• What actually happens must be
the opposite of or differ greatly from what was expected to happen.
HYPOCRISY is a type of
Situational Irony
What is hypocrisy?• The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or
virtues that one does not really hold or practice
• Saying you believe one thing but then doing something that contradicts that belief
What is hypocrisy?• The act of condemning another person when
the critic is guilty of the act for which he/she demands that the accused be condemned
• This is also sometimes described using the idiom--the pot calling the kettle black
Hypocrisy Example
3. Dramatic or Tragic Irony
3. Dramatic or Tragic Irony
• A situation where a character whose knowledge is limited says, does, or encounters something of greater significance than he or she knows
• In other words, when the audience knows a truth that one or more of the characters do not yet know or understand
Dramatic/Tragic Irony - Romeo and Juliet
• At the end of this play, what do we, the audience, know that Romeo doesn’t know?
Dramatic/Tragic Irony - Lost
• There was always a lot of dramatic irony on the TV show Lost. Because of flashbacks, we as an audience often knew truths other characters had not yet learned.
Dramatic/Tragic Irony - Titanic
• Why is there dramatic irony in this story from the first frame of the movie?
Nearly every horror movie needs Dramatic Irony to
work!• We know what’s coming…but the guy in the
tie doesn’t. Dramatic Irony creates suspense!
