Irony
The Three types of Irony
● Verbal: The use of words to mean something different
than what the person actually means or says they mean.
A man looked out of the window to see the storm intensify.
He turned to his friend and said “wonderful weather we’re
having!”
Irony continued...
● Situational: The difference between what is expected to
happen and actuality.
Robbery at a police station
● Dramatic: When the audience is more aware of what is
happening than the characters.
In horror movies, the audience is aware that there is a killer in
the house, but the character does not and they proceed to
enter
Foreshadowing
Definition:
give the reader a hint of something that is going to happen without revealing the
story or spoiling the suspense. Foreshadowing is used to suggest an upcoming
outcome to the story.
Example:
“He had no idea of the disastrous chain of events to follow”. In this sentence the
protagonist is clueless of further developments, the reader learns that something
disastrous and problematic is about to happen to/for him.
