IV.2. Analysis Irony (20 minutes)

The teacher will facilitate
in the discussion of the
following concept:
Irony is a figure of
speech and one of the
most widely- known
literary devices, which is
used to express a strong
emotion or raise a point.
The students will critically
analyze and participate in
the discussion of the
meaning and examples of
verbal and situational
irony.
They then will formulate
their own examples.

As defined, Irony is the

use of words to convey a
meaning that is opposite
of what is actually said.
• For example, a
driver whose
license was
confiscated by a
traffic officer may
say “Thank you
Officer, now that
you have my
license I
can’t drive”
In this situation, the
driver was mad and
irritated at what
happened. But instead of
directly expressing his
anger, the driver used
Irony i.e. thanking the
officer for getting his
license.

Verbal Irony
- It is the use of
words to present
a meaning that is
different from
what the speaker
says. Almost all
the time, the
person
intentionally and
 knowingly uses
Verbal Irony to
be understood as
meaning
something
different to what
his or her words’
literal meaning.
Examples:
1. After looking
at a student’s
poor test
score, the
teacher says,
“You will
surely finish
the year with
highest
honors”.
2. A man tastes
his wife’s
delicious
home-
cooked meal
and exclaims,
“I shall never
eat this food
ever again”.
Situational Irony
- Situational Irony
happens when
what is expected
and intended to
happen doesn’t
take place.
Instead, the
exact opposite
occurs. The
result could be
either serious or
comic. This type
of Irony is used
adds more
meaning to a
situation making
it more
interesting and
thought-
provoking.
Examples:
1. Dr. Johnson
smokes a pack of
cigarettes a day.
 2. Our boss, the
owner of a big
construction firm,
cannot fix his
house’s broken
ceiling.

IV.3. Abstraction Irony (8 minutes)

experiences
The most common
purpose of irony is to
create humor and/or
point out the absurdity of
life. Life has a way of
contradicting our
expectations, often in
painful ways. Irony
generally makes us
laugh, even when the
circumstances are
tragic. The contrast betw
een people’s
expectations and the
reality of the situations is
not only funny, but also
meaningful because it
calls our attention to how
wrong human beings can
be. Irony is best when it
points us towards deeper
meanings of a situation.
