1. Q2- LESSON 2

2. TYPES OF IRONY: VERBAL SITUATIONAL DRAMATIC

3. VERBAL IRONY it is the use of words to give a meaning that is opposite from what the speaker says. What the person says is different to what she/he meant. The speaker acts differently to what he/she says. It is often used for humorous or sarcastic effect.

4. EXAMPLES OF VERBAL IRONY: 1) Saying: "Grea t j o b!" Wh e n: Someone spills co ffe e all over important papers. Actual meaning: It wasn’t a great job at all — it was a mistake. 2) S a y in g: "Oh, per fe ct weather fo r a picnic!" Wh en : I t 's r aining heavi ly . Actual mean ing : The weather is obviously terrible for a picnic.

5. EXAMPLES OF VERBAL IRONY: 1. "Oh great, another rainy day. Just what I needed!" 2. "Wow, you really aced that test. I can totally tell by the way you were guessing all the answers." 3. "I’m so excited for this five-hour meeting," he said sarcastically. 4. "That’s just perfect, I lost my wallet right before going on vacation." 5. "I love being stuck in traffic for hours," she said while tapping her fingers impatiently.

6. KEY POINTS OF VERBAL IRONY: The tone of voice or context usually makes it clear that the speaker doesn’t mean what they literally said. Verbal irony is different from lying — the listener is usually expected to understand the true meaning.

7. SITUATIONAL IRONY it is when the things you have expected and considered to happen doesn’t come about. Instead, the exact opposite happens. It could have serious or funny results. This type of irony is used to add more meaning to a situation making it more interesting and thought-provoking. It is often in a way that’s oddly appropriate or contradictory. the outcome is the opposite of what you’d expect.

8. EXAMPLES: A fire station burns down. → You’d expect it to be the safest place from fire — but it catches fire itself. A pilot who’s afraid of heights. → You’d expect someone who flies planes to be comfortable with heights. A marriage counselor gets divorced. → The person who gives relationship advice can't maintain their own marriage.

9. EXAMPLES: A police officer gets arrested for theft. A plumber’s house has leaky pipes. A professional chef burns dinner during a family gathering. A lifeguard drowning in a pool.

10. DRAMATIC IRONY it happens when the audience knows the information while the characters do not know. It is just like watching a movie where the audience knows what’s in there but the character in the movie doesn’t know. This is the type of irony that makes us yell because we know that the character is working under false beliefs. This can lead to humorous or distressful situations. The audience is in on a secret, the character isn’t.

11. EXAMPLES: In a horror movie: The audience sees the killer hiding in the closet, but the character walks into the room unaware. → We know danger is coming, but they don’t. In Romeo and Juliet: Juliet takes a sleeping potion to fake her death. Romeo thinks she’s really dead and kills himself.

12. → The audience knows she’s alive, but he doesn’t — tragic dramatic irony. In comedies: A character is dressed in disguise, and we know who they are, but others don’t. → This often creates humorous misunderstandings.

13. Type What's Ironic? Who Knows the Truth? Verbal irony Words mean the opposite Speaker & listener (ideally) Situational irony The outcome is opposite of expectations No one until it happens Dramatic irony The audience knows more than characters Audience only

14. QUIZ 1. DIRECTIONS: Read the following statements carefully. Identify whether it is VERBAL, SITUATIONAL, or DRAMATIC irony. Write your answer on a ¼ sheet of paper. NO ERASURE. ERASURE MEANS WRONG.

15. ASSESSMENT: SCENARIO 1: A student says, "Oh great, another homework assignment," and rolls their eyes. SCENARIO 2: A lifeguard drowns while on vacation. SCENARIO 3: In a play, the audience knows the villain is hiding behind the curtain, but the hero walks into the room and acts normal.
