So, what is irony?
The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler is a perfect example
of situational irony in literature. "Seated in a stenographer's chair, tapping away
at a typewriter that had served him through four years of college, he wrote a series of guidebooks for people forced to travel on business."
Situational Irony: This is the most common type of irony found in literature. It is the contrast between what happens and what was expected (or what would seem appropriate). Because it emerges from the events and circumstances of a story, it is often more subtle and effective than verbal or dramatic irony.
Verbal Irony:
This is the contrast between what is said and what is meant.
In other words, verbal irony involves sarcasm.
Most Shakespearean plays are good examples of dramatic irony. In Romeo and Juliet while the audience is aware that Juliet has taken a sleeping potion and is feigning her death, Romeo and everyone else believes that she is dead having killed herself.
Dramatic Irony: This is the contrast between what the character thinks to be true and what the audience knows to be true. Sometimes, as we read, we are placed in the position of knowing more than what one character knows. Because we know something the character does not, we read to discover how the character will react when he or she learns the truth of the situation.
One of the classic verbal irony examples in literature is from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, from the famous Friends, Romans, Countrymen... speech by Mark Anthony, where he says, "Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man."
Isn't it ironic?
Not always!
