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.
