In the short story "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson, there are many instances of irony.

The title is ironic since the idea of a lottery is to win something, in this case, the winner is stoned to death.

The opening description in paragraph one is considered ironic because it introduces the setting by describing the day as "clear and sunny" but it ends with the death of a woman.

In the story, there are also some ironic names such as Mr. Graves and Mr. Summers. While one may think of the summer as something enjoyable, he is in charge of the random killing of a villager every single year.

Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct answer.

It was a message to Julius Caesar warning him of his death. T<span>he Ides of March didn't signify anything special in itself - this was just the usual way of saying "March 15th". The notion of the Ides being a dangerous date was purely an invention of Shakespeare's; each month has an Ides (often the 15th) and this date wasn't significant in being associated with death prior to 1601.</span>
