Irony

The three types of irony:

Situational irony:

Situational irony is whereby an outcome turns out to be very different from what was expected. It also means the difference between what is expected to happen and what actually did.

Dramatic irony:

Dramatic irony is normally shown by some characters when other characters are not around and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the other characters in the play.

Verbal irony:

Verbal irony is pretty much sarcasm, saying the opposite of what someone actually meant.
