Question

Explain irony and why its ironic in 300 words

Answer 1

I’m not sure if I can do it in 300 words but you could probably stretch this out if you try hard enough.

Irony is like when you say how much you hate planes then the first time you get on a plane it crashes. It’s like when you say something that you don’t like or you don’t want to happen and it ends up happening anyways or something around those means.

Answer 2

This is 181 words sorry I couldn't figure out what else to add...

Step-by-step explanation:

Verbal Irony occurs when the speakers attention is the opposite of what he or she is saying. Dramatic Irony occurs when the audience knows a key peice of information that the characters in a play or story do not know. There are a few diffrent types of Irony but theses two are the main ones used. It's kinda like when in the Cask of Amontillado Montresor hates Fortunado and leads him into the catacombs to kill him. There was a lot of Verbal and dramatic Irony. Verbal irony is created as the pair journey into the catacombs. Fortunado has a cough, and Montresor asks him to "return," or go out of the catacombs a few times. Fortunado continues in the hopes of sampling the amontillado. After Montresor chains Fortunado to the wall, he says, "Once more, let me implore you to return. No?" This is ironic because Montresor has no intention of letting Fortunado go. Another good representation of Dramatic Irony would be in Romeo and Juliet when the audience knows that Juliet is not dead, but Romeo thinks she is.
