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.
