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>!

How does Loretta convey Max’s father? What inference can be made about Kevin’s reaction to this information?
OlgaM077 [116]

Loretta, despite her alcoholism and subservience to Iggy, a gang boss, is sympathetic towards Max because of his low station in life. At first, she is only concerned with keeping herself safe first from Iggy's anger and then from Kenny Kane, Max's father, who is violent and bad-tempered. When Loretta discovers that Kenny is keeping Max tied up, she tries to help him escape:

"Keeping your own kid tied up, it ain't right. He ain't the man I thought I remembered, that's for sure."

Loretta thought that she remembered Kenny being a better man, but is shocked out of her obedience by this cruel act. She still has some humanity, despite the abuse she suffers from Iggy and Kenny, and so she tries to redeem herself in a small way by helping Max. Her actions are selfless and she almost dies for standing up to Kenny.
