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.


What is the opposite of irony?

A: The best answer is literalism: adherence to the explicit substance of an idea or expression (Merriam-Webster). Everything portrayed literally can be trusted to represent nothing more than what it is. No hidden meanings, no hidden agenda, no rhetoric, whatever. I believe the problem with defining the opposite of irony is that irony itself is difficult to quantify. Any dictionary will have several specific definitions of the word and each markedly different from the next, each dependent upon different scenarios. This variation is because irony is felt. It lays just beneath the surface of some things, difficult to tease out the details. Comedians, for instance, often have a far more ethereal view of irony than one might think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B: Coincidence (which oddly enough is what thousands of people think irony means).

What types of satirical devices used in A modest proposal explain with examples?

Some types of satirical devices used in "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift include irony, exaggeration, and sarcasm. For example, Swift uses irony by suggesting that poor Irish children should be sold as food to wealthy English landlords to solve the issue of overpopulation and poverty. This proposal is exaggerated and meant to shock readers, while the sarcastic tone highlights the author's mockery of British policies towards Ireland.


What is Socratic irony?

Essentially, irony occurs when you expect one thing and get the opposite. Because he was a well-known philosopher in ancient Athens, one might approach Socrates with the reasonable expectation that he would have some standard arguments for certain fundamental positions. Instead, he was famous for proclaiming that he knew nothing and that the only wisdom he had was the wisdom to realize how ignorant he was. Was this profession of ignorance a false front? Did he really know and simply say that he didn't know in order to get people to think for themselves (rather than simply attaching themselves to his opinions)? Different scholars read Socrates differently on this point. ----
