Fast review for
irony….tell your
shoulder partner
everything you
remember about the
play, “The Gift of the
Magi” and how it
relates to irony.
What is Irony?
Irony
• A Surprise!
• It is the difference between what we expect to
happen, and what actually does happen.
• It is often used to add suspense and interest.
• It is also used to keep the reader thinking about
the moral of the story.

3 types of Irony
• Verbal Irony
• Situational Irony
• Dramatic Irony
Verbal Irony
• The simplest kind of irony.
• You use it everyday when you say one thing and really
mean another.
• It is often similar to a sarcastic response.
• Example:
• When you appear to be sick and someone asks you if
you’re okay. You say “Of course!” But in the meantime
you are vomiting and fainting.
Situational Irony
• Occurs when a situation turns out to be the opposite of
what you thought it would be.
• Example:
• The teacher’s daughter is a High School drop out.
• The mayor’s wife gets caught stealing.
• The chef won’t eat his/her own cooking.
• The barber always needs a hair cut himself.
Dramatic Irony
• Occurs when the audience knows something
that the characters in the story, on the screen, or
on the stage do not know. It’s like the audience
is more aware of what’s going on than the
people in the production.
• This is used to engage the audience and keep
them actively involved in the storyline.
Dramatic Irony
continued…
• In all of the Friday the 13th movies, we know
Jason is in the woods. The characters do not.
When they go out into the woods we are afraid
for them because we know that they are in
danger. We scream for them to run, we get
excited when they fall, we cringe when we know
that Jason is right behind the tree.
Review
• Irony is a kind of a surprise. It is the difference between
what is expected to happen, and what actually does
happen.
• Irony is like a glitch, a twist, or a last minute switch in the
game. It is an interruption of events that cause an
unexpected outcome.
There are three types of irony:
• Verbal
• Situational
• Dramatic
Charles Dickens’s
A Christmas Carol

Scan through the play
and then look at the
original version. How
is the adaptation
different?
Silently read the play to yourself, then we will
read it as a class and think about text evidence,
character analysis and predictions!
