Irony Definition: an awareness of a contrast between appearances and reality Types: Verbal Situational Dramatic

Verbal Irony When a character/speaker/narrator/etc. says one thing but means the opposite Sarcasm is an example of verbal irony. Examples: In Julius Caesar, Marc Antony’s reference to Brutus being an “honorable man” is an example of verbal irony. “And Brutus is an honorable man” (scan the lines for acting directions from the grave!)

Situational Irony When the opposite of what is expected happens Involves the element of surprise Example: O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi” Catches both the characters and the audience by surprise

Dramatic Irony When the audience knows something that the characters do not Adds suspense/tension to the story Examples: Oedipus Rex Romeo and Juliet Any horror movie
