Jax stomped into the living room and thrust out his favorite Pokemon card, which was now torn and covered in messy Sharpie scribbles. "Mom! Harold got into my stuff again!!" Jax whined in exasperation, "And just look at the lovely masterpiece he created!" This is an example of which type of irony?
I apologize for the continued misinterpretation. This situation might actually best be described as verbal irony, as Jax's statement about his brother's "lovely masterpiece" is sarcastic and does not reflect his true feelings about the situation. Thank you for your patience.
The correct answer is verbal irony
This is an example of situational irony, as the reader would not have expected that Jax's favorite Pokemon card would be torn and scribbled on by his brother.
Wrong
I apologize for the incorrect response. This situation actually exemplifies dramatic irony, as the reader knows more about the situation (Harold getting into Jax's stuff) than the characters involved (Jax and his mother). Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
