What is Irony?

• The difference between how things seem to be and reality. 
• As a literary technique, it is used when a certain outcome is revealed but is not what readers were expecting or hoping for. 
• Irony can be difficult to define; it's often subjective and depends on the audience's expectations.
  

3 Types of Irony

2. Situational - When something happens that is completely different from what was expected. 
3. Dramatic - When the audience knows more about what's going on than the characters.
