Literary Terms: (review)
Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant. It’s the use of words to convey the opposite of their literal meaning; a statement or situation where the meaning is contradicted by the appearance or presentation of the idea.
Here’s a phrase (with completion of the irony) from the song by Alanis Morissette “A traffic jam when you're already late”... to receive an award from the Municipal Planning Board for reducing the city's automobile congestion 80 percent.
1. verbal irony is when a person or author says one thing and means something else.
2. dramatic irony is when an audience perceives something that a character in the literature does not know.
3. irony of situation is a discrepancy between the expected result and actual results
Bonus: complete the irony of another (incomplete) phrase in the song
