Why do authors use verbal irony?
• When analyzing your play, consider what the verbal irony reveals about
• the character,
• the mood of the play,
• the author’s intended reaction (from the audience),
• underlying conflict
Situational Irony
• Situational irony occurs when the outcome is the opposite of what is expected.
• However, that’s not exactly right. Situational irony is easy to recognize; it’s the cosmic joke, the absurdity of an event.
• Bill Gates wins a computer
• A deep sea diver drowns in a bathtub
• Situational irony can – produce humor (mood)– Create a tragic situation (plot/conflict)– Underscore the theme (for instance, “You
can’t defy fate”)
Dramatic Irony
• Dramatic Irony occurs when the audience/reader knows information that one or more characters do not know.
