Irony, Vocabulary, and more...

1) Irony:
A literary device where the opposite of what you expect occurs.


That is, it is ironical when there is a difference between what is spoken and what is meant (verbal irony), 
what is thought about a situation and what is actually the case (situational irony), 
or what is intended by actions and what is their actual outcome (dramatic irony).
