The three types of irony are situational, verbal, and dramatic, and The Story of an Hour has all three types of irony flowing through it

Situational irony occurs when the actual result of a situation is totally different from what you’d expect the result to be. And in the story of an hour it happen a few times like when Ms. mallard wasn’t actually sad about her husbands death the fact that she was excited is a perfect example of situational irony. Instead of be sad she “She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms. In other words she was going to her room to show that she was happy in private The majority of times when surroundings are described in stories after bad news, everything looks dark and gloomy because of the sadness that the character must be feeling. However, the surroundings Mrs. Mallard experiences are anything but dark and gloomy. The world was described as ”warm and friendly”x. She could hear someone singing and the birds twittering. Mr. Mallard lives and Mrs. Mallard dies. 

  Verbal irony occurs when a speaker’s intention is the opposite of what he or she is saying. In this situation Mrs. Mallard never fell into depression just like the doctor said once her husband died. Mrs. Mallard’s sister though she was having health problems once she found out that her husband was dead, but in reality all she felt was freedom.“She it multiple times under her breath free free free.  The means that it was Mrs. Mallard’s joy that “killed” her, just not the joy the doctors think: what really killed the protagonist  was experiencing the joy of knowing that she would be free for the remainder of her life and then having that joy taken away. 

  Dramatic irony is also used in Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” through Mrs. Mallard’s realization that she is free from her husband and with her death. During the time Mrs. Mallard spent alone in her room, she experienced a revelation that she no longer would be bound to her husband. However, no one else in the story knew of this realization. They all believed that she was extremely depressed, and that was the reason she had gone to her room. Josephine even thought that Mrs. Mallard was making herself sick. She’s actually in there contemplating how wonderful her life’s going to be. That’s both situational and dramatic irony. My proof from the story that she was unhappy with her relationship comes from the story pg. 2 “And yet she had loved him.. Sometimes often she had not”. Also after that Kate Chopin stated that she wasn’t making herself ill ” No she was drinking in a very elixir of life through that open window”

Other ways to understand she wasn’t sad about her husbands death the symbolizing of spring days in other words spring days are equal to renewal rebirth and new fertile

The STORY OF AN HOUR WRiting prompt

In The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin we saw many instances of irony. Iron is the use of other words to express something different from the opposite to their literal meaning. In the story there are three types of irony situational, dramatic and verbal.

Situational irony is used in the story through Mrs. Mallard’s reaction to her husband’s death. When she first heard that her husband died she wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment. It seem to everyone there that she was very sad and went upstairs to be alone in her room. This is a normal reaction after hearing that a loved one has passed. However, once Mrs. Mallard is alone in her room, we see that she is not sad by the loss of her husband but relieved. It turns out Mrs. Mallard is happy her husband died and instead looks forward to her coming years to be free.

Dramatic irony is used in Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour through Mrs. Mallard’s realization that she is free from her husband and with her death. While she was alone in her room she realized that she would no longer be bound to her husband but rather free to do whatever she choose. However, no one else in the story knew they all believed that she was very sad and depressed. Another example is when Mrs. Mallard dies. When she finds out her her husband is still alive she dies from an immediate heart attack. When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease of the joy that kill’s.

Verbal irony is found in the story’s tittle The Story of an Hour. These words suggest a shot period of time in which not a lot of events tend to occur. However in the story the hour feels like a life time. Mrs. Mallard experiences a lot of emotions in the time span of an hour. Through the title we can see that a lot of things can happen in a short period of time.
