The irony in Jane Eyre wearing a plain square of blonde veil for her wedding is that it symbolizes her desire for simplicity and independence, contrasting with the ostentatious and controlling nature of her groom, Mr. Rochester. By choosing to wear a modest veil, Jane asserts her individuality and refuses to conform to societal expectations of wealth and status. It highlights the theme of personal integrity and self-respect in the face of societal pressures.
In Act 4, everyone is running around making wedding preparations when we know that there will be no wedding.
claudio is planning on calling off the wedding
An example of irony in a wedding could be if the groom, who is known for being punctual and organized, arrives late to the ceremony, while the traditionally laid-back bride is the first one there. This would be ironic because it goes against the expectations set by their usual behaviors.
Claudio is planning to call off the wedding.
"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a fairy tale that involves irony. In the story, the emperor is tricked into believing that he is wearing a magnificent outfit, when in fact he is naked. The irony comes from the fact that no one wants to admit the truth for fear of being seen as foolish.
Capulet's decision to have the wedding sooner so Juliet will be safely and happily married.
Nope its Sarcasm irony is expecting one thing but getting another.. like Rain on your wedding day, or being in a plane crash the very first time you ever flew.
An example of figurative language for irony is "It's raining on my wedding day." This line from Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" is ironic because typically weddings are associated with happiness and good luck, but rain is seen as a symbol of bad luck.
No. Irony requires something happening, the opposite of what is expected. Zombies are seperate but in no way opposing to vampires in general or twilight in particular. At best, irony would be a person whose last name is Van Helsing wearing a "I love Dracula" T-shirt, but even that example is stretching it a bit. Best example of irony is from George Carlin: A diabetic is on his way to buy some insulin, without the insulin he will die. The diabetic is hit by a truck and dies, it is just tragic. The diabetic is hit by a surgar truck and dies, it is poetic but not ironic. The diabetic is hit by an insulin truck and dies, THAT is irony.
In Scene 5, when Juliet wants the nurse to find out who Romeo is: "Go ask his name: if he be married. My grave is like to be my wedding bed." That is verbal irony because the audience already knows that her grave IS going to be her wedding bed---they know she's going to die.
1) Irony occurs when Lord Capulet arranges for Juliet to be married to Paris because we already know that she is secretly married to Romeo 2) Irony also occurs when The Nurse finds Juliet "dead" on the morning of her wedding to Paris. This is irony because we know that Juliet is not dead, she has only taken a potion to make her appear dead 3) Irony occurs when Romeo kills himself at the end. This is irony because he kills himself thinking Juliet is dead when we know that she really isn't.
