Irony occurs when there's a contrast between what's expected and what actually happens.

There are three main types of irony. Verbal irony is when someone says the opposite of what they mean, like saying "Great weather!" during a storm. Situational irony is when the outcome contradicts expectations, like a fire station burning down. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that characters in a story don't.

Irony is a powerful storytelling tool that can create humor, tension, or deeper meaning.
