Verbal: Verbal irony is traditionally defined as the use of words to convey something other than, and especially the opposite of, the literal meaning of the words. One classic example is a speaker saying, “What lovely weather we are having!” as she looks out at a rainstorm intending to express her dissatisfaction with the weather. However, there are examples of verbal irony that do not rely on saying the opposite of what one means, and there are cases where all the traditional criteria of irony exist and the utterance is not ironic. Situational: A type of irony emphasizing that human beings are enmeshed in forces beyond their comprehension and control. Dramatic: A circumstance in which characters reveal their inability to understand their own situation. Dramatic irony is most effective when characters make fateful choices based on information the reader realizes is incorrect.
