What is the opposite of irony?
A: The best answer is literalism: adherence to the explicit substance of an idea or expression (Merriam-Webster). Everything portrayed literally can be trusted to represent nothing more than what it is. No hidden meanings, no hidden agenda, no rhetoric, whatever. I believe the problem with defining the opposite of irony is that irony itself is difficult to quantify. Any dictionary will have several specific definitions of the word and each markedly different from the next, each dependent upon different scenarios. This variation is because irony is felt. It lays just beneath the surface of some things, difficult to tease out the details. Comedians, for instance, often have a far more ethereal view of irony than one might think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B: Coincidence (which oddly enough is what thousands of people think irony means).
