Can you give examples of verbal and situational irony?

Verbal Irony is like sarcasm and like situational irony just spoken. Situational irony is when the opposite occurs than what you expect to happen. Some examples are: the on duty police man was pulled over for speeding.


Can you describe and give an example of situational irony?

Situational irony occurs when the outcome of a situation is contrary to what was expected. For example, a fire station burns down during a fire prevention seminar.


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.


What options does not include two of the three forms of irony that you have learned about?

Situational and dramatic irony can occur independently, but verbal irony always involves a discrepancy between what is said and what is meant. Therefore, an option that does not include verbal irony would not have all three forms of irony.


What are the 3 types of irony?

Verbal irony (also called sarcasm) -- a writer makes a statement in which the actual meaning differs from the meaning that the words appear to express. Situational irony -- accidental events occur that seem oddly appropriate, such as the poetic justice of a TV weather presenter getting caught in a surprise rainstorm. Dramatic irony -- a narrative in which the reader knows something about present or future circumstances that a character in the story does not know.
