Irony is a style of writing like comedy, tragedy, or romance. It basically states that the book has little or no hope in it and the only thing that keeps people reading is the hope that it won't turn out as bad as it actually does. Horror is a good example of irony as a theme

What are the three types of irony?

There is dramatic, situational, and verbal irony. Dramatic Irony- the contrast between what the character knows and what his audience knows. Situational Irony- the contrast between what was expected to happen and what actually ended up happening. Verbal Irony- the contrast between what is said and what is meant. These types of irony have to do with the conflict, theme, and setting.
