Irony is a contrast between appearance and reality.






Situational irony is a form of irony that oc­curs when we expect one outcome but find that the opposite happens. An example of this sort of irony might involve a situation in which a wealthy old
woman promises her nephew that he will inherit her "greatest treasure" and, instead of a fortune, be­queaths him a pampered elderly cat.

Verbal irony occurs when someone says one thing but means the opposite. Verbal irony is usually humorous, but it can also make a serious point. In "The Open Window," for example, the narrator says that Vera began to speak to Framton "when she judged that they had had sufficient silent com­munion." This statement is ironic because it describes an awkward silence between two strangers as "silent communion" - something that happens only between close friends. The statement also makes an important point about each character: Framton is too wrapped up in his own ailments to notice the long pause while Vera has enough initiative to break it.
