I can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news.
I believe we have here an example of situational irony.
Irony is found in the contrast between expected outcomes and what actually happens. The narrator wanted to spend the time on the beach, not in the hotel room watching local TV. However, the reality was such that now the narrator "can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news".
That's why I think this particular sentence matches the style of the passage.
This excerpt is from 'The Hamlet'.
Explanation:
Ophelia says that Hamlet has made sincere proclamations of his love for her. Polonius answers, Tender yourself more dearly. Polonius means Ophelia should be more careful and judge to whom she has to give her affection.
Shakespeare uses humor in this scene but the humor is subtle as it describes the conflict between Ophelia and her father.
The tone creates despair and disgust among the readers. The story is about her love for Hamlet and loyalty to her father.
Polonius depicts Hamlet as unreliable and to have intentions that are not noble.
In this sentence it is an adverb :)
