Different types of irony

English
1 answer:
Reil [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.

Explanation:

The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.

There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.

Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.

Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.

For example:

John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.

Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.

For example:

The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!

Explanation:

Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, on 1st Februray 1901. Hughes was an American poet, activist, novelist, and so on. He had major influence in his writings of other prominent poets such as Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Claude McKay.

These poets used the medium of poetry to convey their opinion or expose any social vices prevalent in their society. For instance, Walt Whitman in his poem titled 'Song of Myself' wrote about human vices and his selfishness and self-centeredness.

<u>Similarly, Hughes wrote the poems to speak about social vices. In his poem '</u><u>Dream Deferred</u><u>' he wrote about the life of people when dream is denied to them. The hidden message that one can infer from this poem is that he is also speaking about the lives of the blacks people who were denied to live the life of their dream and denied basic rights</u>.
