Comparing Irony and Paradox

Verbal Irony

• A character says the opposite of what he or she really means.

• Example: after the enemy operative gives up his companion, the one betrayed says, “I’m glad I trusted you.”

Dramatic Irony

Situational Irony

• The reader knows something a character does not.

• During the whole story, readers know that the operative is actually a long-lost brother of the one he betrays- but neither of the characters are aware of this.

• An event directly contradicts strong expectations.

• Example: in a story in which two companions hide from an enemy, one of the two turns out to be an enemy operative.

Learning Target and Lesson Objectives

Learning Target: I can describe the four different types of irony and paradox to help me understand a story.

Lesson objectives

  • Define the three different types of Irony
  • Answer the question: why do authors use irony and paradox in their writing?

Irony

Paradox

  • The effect created when a writer sets up contrasts between readers’ or characters’ expectations and reality.
  • May involve differences between:
  • Expectation and outcome
  • Appearance and reality
  • Stated meaning and intended meaning
  • Adds emotional intensity to a story or creates a sense of surprise.
  • Example: you laugh at a person who just slipped on a banana and next thing you slip on a banana.
  • Three types of irony: situational, verbal, and dramatic

• A statement that seems contradictory but actually reveals a deeper truth.

• Example: “One must be cruel to be kind”
