Dramatic, situational, and verbal. I don’t really watch tv or read books so I don’t have examples.

Do y’all think that our generation uses verbal irony (sarcasm) often now because we watched it on cartooons constantly as kids?

There is dramatic, situational, and verbal. Verbal irony is like when someone says no but they really mean yes. Dramatic irony is when a reader or viewer knows something about a character in a movie or book that the character does not know. Situational irony is when a fire station burns down.

When the situation doesn’t turn out how it was supposed to is situational irony. Dramatic irony, When you know something the character doesn’t know like in Once Apon a Time you know what is happened in the past and you know what is happening before the characters. Verbal irony is hard to think of an example but you say one thing and mean another.

I never realized that Once Upon a Time is dramatic irony, but it makes sense now that I think about it.

There is verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. An example of each would be: verbal- “I love the great weather today.” When it is snowing. Situational- usually found on sitcoms, planning an event when it is supposed to occur next month. Dramatic- found in scary movies the most, when the viewer know something is there.

The three type of Irony are Dromatic Irony which is what the readers know something that the characters don’t. Situational Irony is when the problem or the situation is opposite of what you expect to happen. Verbal Irony is when you say something and it’s has different meanings.

Situational irony is when the situation is opposite of what is expected. In one show I watch, a character has a rooted hatred for a monster species even though he is one himself. Verbal irony is how we speak in sarcasm. A character from my book constantly says ‘no really?’ To answer a stupid question. Dramatic irony is when the viewer or reader knows something the characters don’t. In a book that I wrote, the reader knows that one of the characters is dead, something that the main protagonist is unaware of.

Shrek is a really good example

I had not thought of Shrek as an example.

There’s dramatic irony such as when Snow White ate the apple. We all knew it was cursed but Snow White didn’t. There’s verbal irony, which is demostrated all throughout Shrek with his sarcasm. And finally situational irony is found in Monster’s Inc. as the monsters jobs are to scare children when in reality the monsters themselves are terrified of kids themselves.

Situational irony is the exact opposite of what’s supposed to happen. An example would be in Monty Python when the white rabbit murders several knights. Verbal irony is when you say one thing to mean another. Shrek is sarcastic with donkey throughout the entire movie. Dramatic irony is when we know something the characters don’t. Horror movies are notorious for this.

Dramatic irony is when the reader knows something that the character doesn’t (horror movies). Verbal irony is when someone says one thing but means another (Family Guy). Situational irony is when something happens that is the opposite of what is expected (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs).
Cherish

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a great idea.
Nate

Situational is when something happens that is the opposite of what is expected. An example of this would be any of the books by Ellen Hopkins.

Not entirely sure how Tom and Jerry would be verbal irony.
Kiana Farnworth

I love that you used Romeo and Juliet as an example.

Situational irony: situation turns out opposite of what was expected insidious
Kiana Farnworth
11/6/2018 10:13:52 am
Verbal irony is when you say one thing to mean another, dramatic irony is when we, the audience, know something a character doesn’t know, and situational irony is when a situation pans out the opposite of expectation. An example of dramatic irony would be that in the film Titanic you can hear a character remark, “ It’s so beautiful, I could just die.” This is dramatic irony because we, the audience, know that the ship will sink and people will die. An example of verbal irony would be in Beauty and the Beast, when Belle tells Gaston, “ I just don’t deserve you!”when, in reality Gaston doesn’t deserve Belle. An example of situational irony would be, in Fahrenheit 451 the firemen sets books on fire rather than putting out the fires.

Situational irony: when a situation is opposite of what’s expected, a lot of things in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz presents situational irony
Aimee

Nemo is a good example.

Verbal irony, using words to mean something different then they should. An example would be about half of Robin's replies. Situational irony is when something happens that is different than what is expected. An example would be, in the the Throne of Glass series theres a girl who grew up training under a man she saw as a father figure. She thought he loved and cared about her but he ended up killing the man she loved and sending her to a salt mine out of greed. Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers know what's going to happen when the characters dont. An example would be any horror movie because the music tells you what's going to happen.
