• Verbal Irony The use of words to mean something different than what they appear to mean.
• Situational Irony The difference between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.
• Dramatic Irony When the audience is more aware of what is happening than a character.

• When characters say something that's the opposite of what they mean, they're using Irony.

• Dramatic irony is when the audience knows more than the character. It creates tension and suspense.
• Situational irony occurs when there is a difference between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. For example, a fire station burning down is a case of situational irony.
• Verbal irony is when a character says something that is different from what he or she really means, or how he or she really feels. This is the only type of irony where a character creates the irony.
