The three types of irony The three types of irony Dramatic irony - A situation in
which the audience knows something about present or future circumstances that the character does not know
Example - Romeo finds Juliet in a drugged sleep. He assumes her to be dead and kills himself. Upon awakening to find her dead lover beside her, Juliet then kills herself.

Verbal irony - A contradiction of expectation between what is said and what is meant
Example - “Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man". - Julius Caesar
Note: This is not the same literary device as an oxymoron!

Is it Is it really really ironic? ironic? An old man turned ninety-eight. He won the lottery and died
the next day... of chronic emphysema from inhalation of the latex particles scratched off decades' worth of lottery tickets.
A black fly in your Chardonnay... poured to celebrate the successful fumigation of your recently purchased vineyard in southern France.
A death row pardon two minutes too late... because the governor was too busy watching Dead Man Walking to grant clemency any earlier.
Rain on your wedding day... to Ra, the Egyptian sun-god.
A free ride when you've already paid... all of your money to the good-natured cab driver when you mistook him for a mugger.
