- 5. INTRODUCTION OF IRONY Irony is when the reality of something is different to the expectation. In simple words irony is the opposite of what is expected. Irony is used both in real life and in literature. If we are to write a story, we can use irony to create empathy, suspense, romantic tension, comedy, etc. In our daily life, sometimes we say somethings that we don’t mean. This is also a type of irony. If we think carefully, we can realize how much irony is used all around us. So, it’s safe to say that irony is a crucial part of our daily life.
- 6. TYPES OF IRONY • There are three types of irony. VERBAL IRONY DRAMATIC IRONY SITUATIONAL IRONY
- 7. VERBAL IRONY Verbal irony is an expression that is used for expressing the opposite if it’s literal meaning. Verbal irony occurs when we realize that someone means something other than what he or she is actually saying. In simple term verbal irony is when someone says one thing but means the opposite. Sarcasm is the most extreme and obvious form of verbal irony.

- 9. EXAMPLES OF VERBAL IRONY I. In summer time, when the electricity goes out and we say, “I am feeling cold all of a sudden.” II. When a teacher announces a sudden exam and someone says, “I couldn’t have been more excited.” III.When your internet dies in the middle of an online exam and you say, “Oh, Great! I’m going to get the best marks on the exam.” IV. After getting a bad haircut someone says, “You look nice with your new haircut.” V. When we accidently put sugar instead of salt in a dish, the person eating the food says, “The food is a bit salty today.”
- 10. DRAMATIC IRONY Dramatic irony occurs when the audience or readers know more about a situation than the character does. In simple term dramatic irony is when you know something about a story that a character doesn’t know. We are faced with a lot of dramatic irony in our day to day life. When we read a story or watch a movie, we have more knowledge about the story than the character. This is called dramatic irony.
- 11. STAGES OF DRAMATIC IRONY INSTALLATION EXPLOITATION RESOLUTION
- 12. EXAMPLES OF DRAMATIC IRONY I. In a movie a character kills his friend and then hid his body into the woods. We know where the body is but other character in the movie doesn’t know. II. In the tv show ‘The Office’, we know that Jim Halpert is the main character of the show but he doesn’t know that. III. When one of your classmate got the highest marks in an exam by cheating and no one in the class knows about it except you. IV. If a person steals an item from a store thinking that no one saw him, but the store clerk saw the whole thing in security camera. V. When a person secretly writes a letter for his crush and puts the letter into her bag thinking that she was away. But his crush saw him put the letter into her bag.
- 13. SITUATIONAL IRONY Situational irony occurs when events turn out differently than characters or the audience expected. Situational irony is when something about the situation is completely unexpected. We encounter situational irony in our daily life quite often. In our daily life when we expect something but a total opposite happens, that’s called situational irony.
- 14. TYPES OF SITUATIONAL IRONY COSMIC IRONY POETIC IRONY STRUCTURAL IRONY HISTORICAL IRONY
- 15. EXAMPLES OF SUTUATIONAL IRONY I. When you are trying to avoid a water gun fight and then you accidentally fall into a puddle. II. A doctor who has trypanophobia.(Trypanophobia is the fear of needles) III.A math teacher who is bad at multiplying numbers. IV.A 24/7 shop is closed after 10 pm. V. When a car mechanic does not know how to fix a flat tire.
- 16. CONCLUSION Irony plays an important role in every student’s life. If we were to write a story, we need to use irony to create comedy, suspense, thriller or romantic tension in our story. We often use irony to express the felling of irritation, displeasure or pity. Sometimes we use sarcasm which is also a type of irony. Therefore, we can describe irony as an irreplaceable figure of speech that we use in our daily life.
