“The Lottery”




      Shirley Jackson
Irony

A literary or rhetorical device in which there is
 a gap (or incongruity) between what a
 speaker or a writer says and what is
 generally understood
Verbal Irony
   Irony produced intentionally by speakers
   e.g.- a person reports to her friend that rather than
    going to a medical doctor to treat her ovarian cancer,
    she has decided to see a spiritual healer instead. In
    response her friend says sarcastically, "Great idea! I
    hear they do fine work!" (Note that this could easily
    be spoken literally by a person who believes in
    spiritual healing as a legitimate treatment for
    cancer.) The friend could have also replied with any
    number of ironic expressions that should not be
    labeled as sarcasm exactly, but still have many
    shared elements with sarcasm.
Situational Irony

A  kind of irony in which there is a
  discrepancy between the expected result and
  actual results when enlivened by perverse
  appropriateness.
 Examples:

            O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi
Dramatic Irony

A  kind of irony that occurs when a character
  on stage or in a story is ignorant, but the
  audience knows his/her actual fate
 e.g.- Romeo and Juliet
Symbolism

 The
    practice of representing things by
 symbols.
