The Wife of Bath begins her description of her two “bad” husbands. Her fourth husband, whom she married when still young, was a reveler, and he had a “paramour,” or mistress (454). Remembering her wild youth, she becomes wistful as she describes the dancing and singing in which she and her fourth husband used to indulge. Her nostalgia reminds her of how old she has become, but she says that she pays her loss of beauty no mind. She will try to be merry, for, though she has lost her “flour,” she will try to sell the “bran” that remains. Realizing that she has digressed, she returns to the story of her fourth husband. She confesses that she was his purgatory on Earth, always trying to make him jealous. He died while she was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Answer:
Sarcasm -------- Verbal Irony
Paradox -------- Situational Irony
Explanation:
The Definition of Paradox is: <em>a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.</em>
Situational irony is when the outcome of a situation is totally different from what people expect, which is why it would be considered a Paradox because the storyline and the ending seem inconsitent.
The definition of Sarcasm is: <em>the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.</em>
Verbal irony is when your speaker says something that's the opposite to what they mean. Verbal irony may not always equal sarcasm because in most cases sarcasm is used to mock or attack someone, but in this case, Sarcasm is an example of Verbal Irony because it can also just be someone saying one thing while really meaning another. It isn't always used as mockery.
