Answer:

The use of words in writing or saying that is the opposite of what is really meant is known as verbal irony.

Explanation:

Verbal irony is when someone says or writes something but she meant just the opposite of what is really written or said, meaning the opposite of the literal word. It is employed by many writers in their literary works.

Examples may be like when someone has a bad day but then says "her day is definitely going great"

or when the place is messy or congested but then people say "you deserve an award for cleanliness"

or claiming the weather is perfect when in reality it is really raining cats and dogs.

LITERARY ANALYSIS: Heart of Darkness is narrated from the perspective of a European exploring Africa. The passage conveys his pe
GuDViN [60]

The author characterizes the narrator as a man who was strongly shaken by everything he witnessed in Africa.

This can be seen because:

  • The book's narrator, Marlow, is very excited to participate in the journey to colonize Africa.
  • This excitement is created by a strong influence of the setting where he finds himself.
  • This scenario is a prosperous Europe, due to strong colonization.
  • However, the narrator's excitement ends when he arrives in Africa.
  • The setting in Africa is very different from the setting in Europe.
  • In Africa, the narrator interacts with a scenario of poverty, exploitation, violence, devaluation, and decadence, all created by European colonizers.
  • The narrator is very shaken by this scenario and shows himself to be a physically and mentally ill man. He becomes weak, distraught, and unable to act normally.

This change in narrator characterization is very significant for "Heart of Darkness." This is because the author wanted to present an anti-colonial story, as he wanted to show that all people involved in colonialism and imperialism were negatively affected.
