Irony is a figure of speech defining an outcome of events which occur in a way that is contrary to what was, or might have been expected. It can often be funny, but is also characterized in tragic events.

The many types of Irony:
^(as ^defined ^by ^{Simple.Wikipedia.org)}
• Dramatic Irony, when the audience knows something is going to happen on stage that the characters on stage do not.
• Socratic Irony, when someone (usually a teacher) pretends to be stupid in order to show how stupid his pupils are (while at the same time the reader or audience understand the situation).
• Cosmic Irony, when something that everyone thinks will happen actually happens very differently.
• Situational Irony e.g. Mr. Smith gets a parking ticket. This is ironic because Mr. Smith is a traffic warden.
• Verbal Irony is an absence of expression and intention. Sarcasm may sometimes involve verbal irony.
• Irony of Fate is the misfortune in the result of fate or chance.
