Identify two examples of irony in 'Toy Story of Terror' and explain how each of these examples is ironic.
Evgen [1.6K]

I think this is what you're asking?

The way the toys speak is ironic because they are toys and shouldn't speak...

The next ironic part is they actually give the toys a life of their own, letting them go on missions to save someone or get something or hide from somebody. It's ironic they would do that when they are just plastic toys.


Dramatic irony is a stylistic literary analysis tool used in movies, theaters, plays, and sometimes in poetry elements , where the audience are more aware of the situations, conflicts, and resolutions that happened and are about to occur compared to the characters involved. This helps add suspense and humor to every plot. But there are instances when dramatic irony isn’t as explicit as it is in the source material. This usually takes place when a famous novel or book proposal is turned into a movie or play, as those who have already read the material know what to expect in the film, and vice versa.

2. Read the following excerpt from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven":
madreJ [45]

The use of rhyme and repetition in "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, are meant to affect the reader in the following way:

It causes the reader to sense how desperate and devastated the speaker is.

Since the raven is a symbol of death and loneliness, as well as of a somber state of mind, the speaker wants it to leave his house. The presence of the animal affects the speaker in an unbearable way, since it reminds him of the loss of his significant other.

The rhymes make it for a feeling of frantic desperation, whereas the repetition, particularly "nothing more" and "nevermore", shows how strongly mourning affects the speaker, how devastated he is.

We can see how badly the speaker wants the bird to leave in the following passage:

"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my

door!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
