5. S TORY E LEMENTS ~ I RONY We started looking at Irony yesterday. Irony the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. Today we will go over the different types of irony. There are 4 types: 1. Verbal Irony 2. Dramatic Irony 3. Situational Irony 4. Cosmic Irony

6. V ERBAL IRONY ironyirony in which a person says or writes one thing and means another, or uses words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of the literal meaning.which For example, if a person steps in big puddle of water by mistake, and his/her friend smiles kindly, starts to help his friend up and remarks, "well now, don't you have all the luck!"

7. D RAMATIC I RONY irony that is inherent in speeches or a situation of a drama and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the characters in the play. the audience's or reader's knowledge of events or individuals surpasses that of the characters.

Upon awakening to find her dead lover beside her, Juliet then kills herself.

8. S ITUATIONAL I RONY an outcome that turns out to be very different from what was expected; the difference between what is expected to happen and what actually does."
