4. #59 Satire & Irony
Irony- contradiction or incongruity between appearance or expectation and reality.
Discrepancy between:
What one says and what one means (verbal)
Not the same as sarcasm, though related
Expectation and what happens (situational)
What appears to be true and what is actually true
A device or mode

5. #59 Satire & Irony Satire- a genre, not a device or mode
Irony, sarcasm, wit, parody are used to expose human weakness, and to create reform through ridicule.
Not just comedy- makes a moral point
Parody- comic imitation of the style of an author, character, genre.
