Irony through Picture Notes Celebrate Earth Day

Irony A contradiction between what happens and what you expect to happen Examples: A fireman afraid of fire A dentist with crooked teeth and cavities galore You shout “I’m not upset!” but your fists are clenched, your eyes look like they are ready to pop out, and your face is the color of tomato red (sarcasm)

Three Kinds of Irony Verbal Irony Dramatic Irony Situational Irony

Verbal Irony Saying one thing but meaning another Tone of Sarcasm Examples: As your teacher is signing detention forms for students who did not complete their homework, she says in an irritated voice, “I just love when students don’t do their homework!” It’s raining cats and dogs outside. You took the day off from work today to finally put up a fence post because of your annoying neighbors. You express, “This weather is just lovely.” Your friend spoils the ending of a movie for you, and you express in a haughty tone, “Thanks a lot!”

Verbal Irony Continued Green Memory A wonderful time- the War: when money rolled in and blood rolled out. But blood was far away from here--- Money was near Do you think that the speaker really considered this a “wonderful time”? Why or why not? What kind of people might be willing to sacrifice blood for money?

More Fun with Verbal Irony You have a six-foot tall friend who you call “shorty.” You planned six months in advance for good weather on your wedding day. It is suddenly raining and hailing. You step outside and say, “Oh good! I was hoping it would rain.”

Dramatic Irony The reader knows something about a character’s situation that a character does not know. The reader is aware of the irony. The character is unaware of the irony.

Dramatic Irony Continued Example: In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, we know that Brutus is plotting to kill Julius Caesar, but Julius Caesar does not know this. He thinks that Brutus is a loyal man to him. In Cinderella, the prince goes searching for the “princess” who lost her slipper at the ball. The prince does not know that she is a poor girl, almost a slave to her stepsisters and stepmother. It is ironic because we know the owner of the shoe is Cinderella, a poor girl, but he thinks it is a girl that comes from great wealth.

Situational Irony What actually happens is not expected to happen The character and the reader are unaware of the irony

Situational Irony Continued An aviator was sent on a mission to a distant part of a globe. When he returned to his base, he noticed it was strangely quiet. Everything was in perfect order, but there wasn’t a sign of life in that place. He wandered through the town in growing astonishment. Human beings and animals simply had vanished from the scene. He tore back to the airport, filled his plane with high octane gas, and flew terrified, to New York, London, Moscow, Shanghai. While he had been on his mission, every living creature had apparently disappeared. He was the only man alive in the world! He weighed the situation carefully and found it intolerable. Suicide seemed the only solution. He swallowed a vial of deadly poison and calmly waited for it to take effect. Just as the drug reached his brain, and the room started swimming before his eyes, he heard a familiar sound. It was the telephone ringing. -Bennett Cerf

Irony Skits You will work with another student and write a script that contains elements of irony, either verbal, dramatic, or situational irony. Your script should be about a page long and should be written like a text of drama (character’s name: ________________). You can have a section that introduces background or something a narrator would say. You must both write the script on looseleaf paper. There must be at least one example of figurative language and a creative title.
