Niger

Answer 2

Verbal irony is used many time in A Tale of Two Cities.

It is used when Mr. Lorry talks about himself being a man of business. This is a type of irony because at the end of the book Mr. Lorry is very kind hearted and very friendly and very unbusiness like.

Also another example of verbal irony is when Jerry Cruncher is called an honest tradesman.

Another example of verbal irony is when Monsieur Marquis tell Gaspard that he does not know how to take care of his child yet Monsieur Marquis can not even take care of himself. Monsieur Marquis is killed by Gaspard in his sleep because Monsieur Marquis ran over Gaspard's child and Gaspard got really angry.

Finally the last example of verbal irony used by Dickens is when at first Stryver is called the fellow of delicacy and Carton is called the fellow no delicacy. It turns out that Sydney Carton is the fellow of delicacy because of what he did for Darney at the end of the book. Stryver is really the fellow of no delicacy and it also shows at the end of the book.
