situational irony:

dramatic irony:

All three types are present.
- Dramatic irony: The narrator believes and states that he is sane.
- Situational irony: The narrator states that Mad Men are not reasonable, he isn't reasonable in that he is uncomfortable with justice.
- Verbal irony: Stating that he is sane also applies to this, but for originality, feeling for the old man while wanting and succeeding to kill him is also verbal irony.
The irony of this classic short story is that shortly after the narrator kills the old man and hides his heart underneath the floorboards the police arrive. He then begins to hear said heart beating, and he eventually breaks and confesses to the police. The guilt of killing the man he hated eventually caused his own undoing.
