IRONY
- Types of Irony and their Functions
- verbal irony: express something by saying the opposite --> effect: reader enjoys finding irony, reader discovers real meaning, reader discovers contrast between what is said and what is meant
Oh thank you VERY MUCH for not inviting me to the party!
- dramatic irony: the reader or the audience know more than the characters
- --> effect 1: reader feels superior, only to show him he is not --> reader is taught a lesson
- --> effect 2: the reader feels pity, finds it hard to bear the tension and have to see the main character making fatal mistakes ... --> involvement in story
In a play the characters listen to a man explaining enthusiastically that he will travel to the USA on board of an absolutely unsinkable ship - the Titanic!
- irony of situation: sharp contrast between what the characters/readers wish/intend and what real life/the situation is like.
An example would be a man who takes a step aside in order to avoid getting sprinkled by a wet dog, and falls into a swimming pool." (Lars Elleström, Divine Madness. Bucknell Univ. Press, 2002)
