Verbal Irony

Eg. In a horror movie, the cannibal says to the victim, “I would love to have you come for dinner.”
Different from sarcasm – in sarcasm, it is expected that the listener understands the true meaning.

4. Situational Irony
Where the outcome of a situation has an effect that is the opposite of what was expected.
Eg. Someone spreads a rumor about a girl at school, in order to ruin her reputation and make her unpopular. However, the rumor backfires and causes the victim to become a “school celebrity” and Prom Queen.

5. Dramatic Irony
Where the reader / audience knows something that the character does not.
Eg. In a horror movie, we know that the innocent girl should not open the door because there is a zombie on the other side. The character does not know and opens it anyway.
