2. Irony & Metaphor .

3. “A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.” Comparing two unlike things Adds imaginative or vivid sense to descriptions Example: “Time is a thief” Source domain conceptual domain from which we draw metaphorical expressions Target domain conceptual domain that we try to understand through the use of the source domain Metaphor

4. Extended metaphor: comparison of two unlike things, just a single moment of comparison but a sustained one Use of metaphor “garbage” mess in the apartment Throwing a jacket on the chair is replaced by throwing garbage on a pile of garbage Exaggeration and visual imagery Target domain: throwing a jacket on a chair Source domain: garbage Example Season 4, Episode 6

5. Irony “Irony is a literary and rhetorical device that involves a discrepancy between expectations and reality.” Types of Irony Verbal Irony: when the speaker says one thing but means another Dramatic Irony: audience knows more about the situation than the characters Situational Irony: stark difference between what is expected and what actually occurs

6. Example Example of situational irony Ross and Rachel unexpectedly get married Completely opposite of the audience’s expectations The audience expects a certain pattern of behaviour from them, which does not include a spontaneous marriage because of Ross and Rachel unstable relationship. Monica and Chandler decide not to get married in Vegas after witnessing Ross and Rachel. Season 5 Finale
