3 TYPES OF IRONY 1. Verbal 2. Situational 3. Dramatic

1. VERBAL IRONY Occurs when the writer, narrator, or speaker says one thing and means something entirely different; also seen through character names Examples Mean teacher named Mrs. Nice I posted a video on YouTube about how boring and useless YouTube is. The name of Britain’s biggest dog was “Tiny”. The butter is as soft as a marble piece. “Oh great! Now you have broken my new camera.”

2. SITUATIONAL IRONY Situation that occurs that is completely opposite of what was expected Ex. You laugh at a person who slipped stepping on a banana peel and the next thing you know, you slipped too.

EXAMPLE 1: HARRY POTTER Audience believes Harry Potter can kill Voldemort. Later on, the audience finds out that in order for Voldemort to die, he must kill Harry first.

EXAMPLE 2: THE WIZARD OF OZ Dorothy moves to the wizard in order to find a way to go her home just to learn that she was capable of doing so. Scarecrow wished to become intelligent, but he discovers himself a perfect genius. The tinman considers himself as not capable of love; nevertheless he learns that he has a good heart. Lion appears as a coward and then turns out to be an extremely fearless and courageous.
8
DRAMATIC IRONY The characters are oblivious of the situation but the audience is not; originated in Greek tragedy and often leads to tragic outcomes Examples 1. Titanic 2. Horror Films

BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL The author directly addresses the audience. Examples 1. The Office (interviews or will look at camera during scenes) 2. Modern Family (Talk to the camera and look at camera during scenes)

IRONY Verbal Irony The king’s nature was bland and genial; but, whenever there was a little hitch,…he was blander (milder) and more genial (cheerful). The audience was “refined and cultured.” (while potentially watching a man get torn apart and devoured by a tiger) Situational Irony The fact that lady who was behind the other door was the one woman who the princess was jealous of from the very beginning. The fact that the king hired mourners to grieve. Dramatic Irony The fact that the audience is aware that the princess knows what is behind each door while the courtier and king have no idea.
12
BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL The author directly addresses the audience. The author does this when he leaves it up to the reader to decide the courtier’s fate.
