  • Situational Irony in O’Henry’s The Ransom of Red Chief and The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant

    609 Words  | 2 Pages

    Situational irony is used in both O’Henry’s “The Ransom of Red Chief” and “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant but the effect of the techniques on the tone of each story is very different. In O’Henry’s story, the protagonist, Red Chief, is being kidnapped by two criminals, Bill and Sam. There are many ironic events that occur in the story. For example, the reader expects Red Chief to want to go back home to his family but instead, he is having the time of his life. As hard as Bill tries, he cannot even send him home. Bill utters to Sam, “‘I showed him the road to Summit and kicked him about eight feet nearer there at one kick’” (6). This is comical because it is using a literary technique known as slapstick comedy. The reader can imagine Bill swinging his leg and kicking Red Chief all the way back to Summit. Another example of situational irony in the story is that the reader would expect that Red Chief to be scared but what is actually happening is that Bill is terrified. While speaking with Sam, Bill complains about Red chief yet again, “‘I’ve stood by you without batting an eye ...

  • Signification Through Structural Irony in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales

    2175 Words  | 5 Pages

    Some literary works exhibit structural irony, in that they show sustained irony. In such works the author, instead of using an occasional verbal irony, introduces a structural feature which serves to sustain a duplicity of meaning. One common device of this sort is the invention of a naïve hero, or else a naïve narrator or spokesman, whose invincible simplicity or obtuseness leads him to persist in putting an interpretation on affairs which the knowing reader—who penetrates to, and shares, the implicit point of view of the authorial presence behind the naïve persona—just as persistently is called on to alter and correct. (Abrams, 90)

  • Use Of Irony In The Ransom Of Red Chief

    633 Words  | 2 Pages

    Would you ever expect a kidnapper to actually want to get rid of the kid? Better yet, would you expect the captivated child to enjoy his own kidnapping experience? Well, in the tall tale “The Ransom of Red Chief” by O. Henry, a typical kidnapping encounter is completely reversed. Bill and Sam are “two desperate men” (O. Henry 7) that will do anything to get money to rent a new place to live in, even if that means kidnapping Johnny Dorset, a ten-year-old boy, and asking his wealthy father, Ebenezer Dorset, for a ransom in exchange for his son. In this high comedy piece, O. Henry uses irony and comic situations to convey the idea that all choices have a consequence that follows.

  • How Does Randall Use Situational Irony In The Ballad Of Birmingham

    1962 Words  | 4 Pages

    Situational irony is the difference between what is expected to happen and what actually occurs. Randall really grabs the attention of the readers with one thing and then hits them with a different outcome than what is expected. Randall sets up the situation to make readers think that the church is the safer place to be. The mother and daughter are going back and forth about going to the freedom march. The mother comes to a final verdict and says that the church would be a safer place for her daughter. The trust that the mother puts in the church is entirely misplaced. With the poem showing the daughters pure innocence, it makes it all more wrenching because the readers see it coming. In an article about poem, prose, and people, Sharron McElmeel tells about the background behind the church. The church had previously been “a staging location for civil rights rallies, marches, and protests” (McElmeel). During this time period, with all the civil rights issues, these marches were very dangerous. Anything could happen at any moment. In all reality the church might not have been the safest place for her mother to send her daughter. Randall tries to be very clear on what is going on at this time through his story. In an interview with Lena Ampadu, Randall talks about how he tries to be simple for the readers. Ampadu talks about “One of the qualities present in your writing is it’s ability to communicate simply and directly,” this statement is very true about Randall's work(Ampadu 443). Randall is simple in direct when it comes to his poem, “Ballad of Birmingham”. Randall responds to Ampadu with “I try to be as clear as I can because I want people to understand what I’m saying” (Ampadu 443). Randall makes it clear that there is way more meaning to his poem. It is a very simple story from that day but it goes into great detail about the true history behind the poem. Randall’s simple

  • The Sniper

    488 Words  | 1 Pages

    Unexpected senseless occurrences happen when situational irony comes to effect. Like the time the Republican sniper unnecessarily lights up a smoke, which glows and shows his location on a rooftop; the irony unexpectedly occurs when an old lady whom is a spy descries the Republican sniper. This incident is ironic because one doesn't expect for an old lady to be a spy because old crumbly elders can barely move. This shows that the sniper commits such an imprudent occasion as to light up a smoke, which could have gotten him killed right on the spot. Many other ironic moments take place such as the time a free state sniper was in a armored truck, which is basically like a tank, and he gets out of the his cage and then gets capped. This is ironic because why would someone do something as foolish as getting out of protection and giving himself a death wish, which concludes why war is pointless because all that’s going to happen is doom. This also shows that war is needless because all one is doing is hurting himself by killing a related specie. Furthermore, war can be even more ironic like the time when the Republican sniper unknowingly shoots his loved one, whom is his own brother. This is ironic because people usually that are family, don't have very many different beliefs. This also unveils that war is pointless and ironic because after a war everybody seems to regret what had happened. This short story was exposed in a way that shows how ironic and meaningless war and expresses the pain, sorrow, and agony one suffers caused by war.
