3.) Three(3) types of Irony:

Situational Irony:occurs in literature and in drama when persons and events come together in improbable situations, creating a tension between expected and real results.

Verbal irony: is the use of words to convey something other than, and especially the opposite of the literal meaning of the words, to emphasize, aggrandize, or make light or a circumstance or subject. 

Dramatic irony: is the device of giving the spectator an item of information that at least one of the characters in the narrative is unaware of (at least consciously), thus placing the spectator a step ahead of at least one of the characters.
