Litotes Irony : Irony From Greek word eirōneía meaning hypocrisy or feigned ignorance. The use of words to express something different from the opposite to their literal meaning. 3 Types Dramatic Situational Verbal Dramatic Irony : Dramatic Irony Also called Theater irony Irony that occurs when the meaning of the situation is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play Examples : Examples R&J: When Romeo finds Juliet in a deep sleep, he thinks she is dead so he kills himself. After Juliet awakens, she sees that Romeo is dead, so she stabs herself. In a horror movie, dramatic irony is used because the audience knows the killer is there, but the character does not. Situational Irony : Situational Irony The difference between what is expected to happen and what actually does. Also called irony of situation Irony of situation is usually humorous. Example : Example The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Water, water, every where,And all the boards did shrink ; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink Ironic because there is water but it cannot be drank. Example : Example The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler "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." The writer hated travel. Verbal Irony : Verbal Irony A contradiction of expectation between what is said and what is meant Simplest form of irony. Also called rhetorical irony Produced intentionally by the speaker Example : Example Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare "Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;And Brutus is an honorable man". Mark Antony really means that Brutus is dishonorable. Sarcasm : Sarcasm A mocking or ironic language used to convey insults Can be hurtful From Greek word sarkasmos meaning "to bite the lips in rage“ Can be a form of irony Used in many languages, not just English Pitch : Pitch Pitch of voice changes when being sarcastic; emphasize words Sincerity=pitch high Sarcastic=pitch low Ex: Saying thanks in a nasal tone would indicate sarcasm.
