Irony

​

There are three types of irony: verbal, situational and dramatic.

​

1. Verbal Irony - says one thing but means the opposite. It is not to be confused with sarcasm because sarcasm is meant to insult or hurt feelings.

​

2. Situational Irony - the characters and audience are both unaware of what is about to happen, they expect something to happen but the opposite happens.

​

3. Dramatic Irony - the characters are unaware of the situation but the audience is aware.

​

Dialogue

​

Dialogue is the conversation between two or more people, it can either be written or spoken language.

​

There are two types of dialogue: inner and outer dialogue. 

1. Inner Dialogue - own emotions of the characters.

• Uses stream of consciousness

• Monologue - a single person talking to an audience.

• Soliloquy - a single person is talking but only he/she knows what they are saying or thinking. 

2. Outer Dialogue - just a normal conversation.
