ASSIGNMENT # 3 - Irony

1a. Dramatic Irony - irony that occurs when the meaning of the situation is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play

1b. Situational Irony - an outcome that turns out to be very different from what was expected

1c. Verbal Irony - a figure of speech in which what is said is the opposite of what is meant

1d. Ambiguity - uncertainty of meaning


2a Dramatic Irony is used throughout the second part of the story and it is heavily used in the ending. In my opinion, dramatic irony was more powerful than situational irony since it played a bigger role in the ending of the story.

2b. Situational irony is used because we never expected Mary to feed the lamb to the police officers.

3c. I think the title means to slaughter someone with lamb not vice versa. This is verbal irony since the meaning means something else
