Irony

Dramatic Irony Produced when the audience’s or reader’s knowledge of events surpasses that of the characters. The words and actions therefore, take on a different meaning for the audience/ reader than for the characters. Common technique used in horror movies

Situational Irony A discrepancy between the expected and the actual state of affairs; a contradictory or badly-timed outcome of events as if in mockery of the fitness of things. Simply, the unexpected happens. A few examples: A firefighter’s house burns down Stories with a surprise ending

Verbal Irony The use of words to express something other than (and especially the opposite of) the literal meaning. Especially the humorous use of praise to imply condemnation or contempt.

“Ironic” by Alanis Morissette An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic... don't you think Chorus It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought... it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice..." And isn't it ironic... don't you think [ repeat Chorus]

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic...don't you think A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think... Chorus It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought... it figures Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out
