What is Irony?
Irony
It is a literary device that is typically used to make a point through linguistic
contradiction. This is also a figurative language that is used to express
something that is opposite of the literal meaning. This is usually humorous or
sardonic literary style to igmite emphatic effect to the listener.
Irony generally defines as sarcasm, but it is not because irony has three types
and it was called verbal, situational and dramatic irony.
Verbal Irony
This is the use of words to mean something that is different than what they
appear to mean. This is typically used to convey the opposite of the meaning,
usually for the sake of humor. More likely, what is said is different than what is
meant.
Examples:
Awesome! Another homework packet!
This is no a big deal! My father just died earlier.
Situational Irony
This is an event wherein that you did not expect it to happen. It also occurs
when the actual result of an event contradicts the expected result of an event.
Examples:
A pilot has a fear of heights.
The chef won't eat his/her own cooking.
Dramatic Irony
This is when the audience knows something that the character in the story
does not know. This is also when the audience is more aware of what is
happening than the character itself.
Examples:
Joeneth's parents are proud of the "A" she got on the periodical test, but we
know she cheated.
Vonson writes a love poem to Jessica but we know that Jessica loves Elli.
F. Application
"Act it Out!"
