Irony is a rhetorical device and a form of expression where something is said different from what is actually meant.
It’s a clever play on words that involves a hidden or opposite meaning to the literal sense, often with a touch of sarcasm or humor.
Irony is used to emphasize criticism, make a subtle mockery, or highlight the discrepancy between what is said and what is actually meant.
It requires contextual understanding and an appreciation of the speaker’s intentions to be fully appreciated.
