Irony
Filed by Aine MacDermot
Irony : Irony is a way of speaking or writing in which the real meaning of words is contradicted by their literal meaning. For irony to work, the listener or reader must be aware of the contrast between what is said and what is really meant.
Ironical situations in stories usually involve contrast between what is expected and what occurs: the thief who is robbed, the hunter who becomes the hunted.
