Socratic Ironynoun, (philosophy) a means by which the pretended ignorance of a skillful questioner leads the person answering to expose his own ignorance.


Socratic IronyThis type of irony is most relative in the great

world of academia and is related to the Socratic teaching method. The Socratic teaching method encourages students to think and present opposing views while the teacher plays ignorant.

Example: Later on in the lesson the teacher completely embarrasses the student, by illustrating how their points were both foolish and ignorant.

Socratic IronyThe Socratic teaching method is widely used

at prestigious colleges and universities on the undergraduate level where bustling minds are quick to ignore the obvious in exchange for coming up with a grand explanation to a not so grand problem.

Example: Another way in which Socratic irony is used is when a person pretends to be completely ignorant about a topic in an argument just to get an upper hand in the argument.


Socratic IronyExample: A professor never answers questions

and does not explain key concepts of the course; however he expects students to come to class after having read their assignment, ready to answer the professor's questions.

Example: A child asks his parents how the presents got under the Christmas tree to which the parents reply that they have no idea.

Socratic irony can be used as a tactical strategy in getting what you want.


Cosmic IronyThis type of irony can be attributed to some sort of misfortune.

Usually cosmic irony is the end result of fate or chance.


Cosmic IronyExample: Gambling. If you are playing

blackjack chances are you will be up (making money) for awhile, and then just when you thought things were going well, you lose it all.

Example: The Titanic was promoted as being 100% unsinkable; but, in 1912 the ship sank on its maiden voyage.


Cosmic IronyExample: At a ceremony celebrating the

rehabilitation of seals after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, at an average cost of $80,000 per seal, two seals were released back into the wild only to be eaten within a minute by a killer whale.

Cosmic irony feeds on the notion that people cannot see the effects of their actions, and sometimes the outcome of a person’s actions may be out of their control.


Dramatic Ironynoun, irony that is inherent in speeches or a situation of a drama and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the characters in the play.

occurs when there is miscommunication in a book, play or film and the audience is smarter than the characters.


Dramatic IronyExample: As an audience member, you realize that if a character walks into an abandoned warehouse, chances are a killer is waiting... but because you are a member of the audience you cannot disclose the information to the character.


Dramatic IronyExample: In Romeo and Juliet by William

Shakespeare Romeo finds Juliet in a drugged state and he thinks she is dead. He kills himself. When Juliet wakes up she finds Romeo dead and kills herself.

Example: In Macbeth by William Shakespeare Macbeth appears to be loyal to Duncan but he is planning Duncan's murder. Duncan doesn't know Macbeth's plans but the audience knows what is going to happen.

This is most often seen in horror films. If you are watching a horror movie, you know by the actions of a character that their number is about to be up.


Situational IronyThis type of irony may occur when the outcome of a certain situation is completely different than what was initially expected.

It is often referred to as an “irony of events.”


Situational IronyExample: A person who claims to be a vegan

and avoids meat but will eat a slice of pepperoni pizza because they are hungry. It may not make sense, but it is an illustration of irony.

Example: A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets.

Example: An ambulance driver goes to a night time bike accident scene and runs over the accident victim because the victim has crawled to the center of the road with their bike.


Sarcasmis yet another popular form of irony where the user intends to wittily attack or make a derogatory statement about something or someone.

Often, sarcasm is confused with irony instead of being a recognized form of irony.


SarcasmExample: A beautiful actress walked by a table of talent agents as one said, “There goes a nice person, not.” The talent agent said the phrase referring to the young actress’ behavior. It was a derogatory statement, yet created with wit.


Sarcasm

Example: At a party a lady tells Winston Churchhill he is drunk to which Churchhill said, "My dear, you are ugly...but tomorrow I shall be sober.”


Sarcasm

Sarcasm can often be funny and witty, yet simultaneously it can be hurtful and humiliating.


Review: Which ones are Irony and which ones are paradox?BittersweetAn ambulance driver goes to a nigh time bike accident

scene and runs over the accident victim because the victim has crawled to the center of the road with their bike.

"What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young." - George Bernard Shaw

In "The Canterbury Tales" Chaucer criticizes the clergy who had become corrupt, by referring to the Friar as a "wanton and merry" person who takes bribes and seduces women.

Wise foolIn Macbeth by William Shakespeare Macbeth appears to be

loyal to Duncan but he is planning Duncan's murder. Duncan doesn't know Macbeth's plans but the audience knows what is going to happen.

Another way in which Socratic irony is used is when a person pretends to be completely ignorant about a topic in an argument just to get an upper hand in the argument.
