Irony N. a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually stated. [Opposite of what you’d expect!] There are three main types of irony: verbal, situational, or dramatic

Verbal Irony When the speaker says something to the contrary of what he or she actually means Ex: It’s raining, and I walk in and say “What beautiful weather, huh?” Ex: Verbal irony is sarcasm’s cousin…they’re related, but not the same thing!

Verbal Irony

Situational Irony When something opposite of what we expect happens. Ex. You sell your Xbox to buy your girlfriend a very nice iPhone accessories, but she sold her iPhone to buy you an Xbox game… Someone is deathly afraid of flying, and the first flight he takes crashes…
