Defining different types of irony

Situational Irony- something that has an effect that is exactly opposite of what is indented

Verbal Irony- a statement that implies a meaning in opposition of what the literal meaning is

Dramatic Irony- a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.
