Notes: IRONY- September 22, 2015
Irony: A technique that involves surprising, interesting, or amusing contradictions or
contrasts.
Verbal Irony: is a statement in which the meaning that a speaker employs in sharply
different from the meaning that is expressed.
Example: A person steps in a big puddle of water by mistake, and his/her friend smiles
kindly, starts to help his/her friend up and remarks, “well now, don’t you have all the
luck!”
Other examples:
Soft as a brick
Saying “Oh, that’s fantastic!” when a situation is actually awful
This chair is as comfortable as sitting on nails

Dramatic Irony: is the device of giving the spectator an item of information that at
least one of the characters in the narrative is unaware of (at least consciously), thus
placing the spectator a step ahead of at least one of the characters.
Examples: Two people are engaged to be married but the audience knows that the man
is planning to run away with another woman. In a scary movie, the character walks into
a house and the audience knows the killer is in the house.

Situation Irony: an outcome that turns out to be very different from what was
expected, the difference between what is expected to happen and what actually does.
Example: If the president of Microsoft, Bill Gates, were to win a contest whose grand
prize was a computer system, the irony would be situational because such a
circumstance would appear ridiculous or “funny” for a number of reasons. Bill Gates
doesn’t need a computer, he runs the world’s largest software company, and he’s filthy
rich, so winning a computer seems silly and “ironic”.

** The Catacombs: In Italy:
Ancient underground burial tunnels used to bury many bodies, doubled as a wine cellar.
The corpses would lay in the indentations of the walls. The walls are scattered with
skeletons.
Low arches that support the ceiling make it difficult to walk through.
