Comparison Of Thalmor And Irony
1-An ode to the great king Ulfric Stormcloak

2-Who led the Empire's legion's to waste

3-But now stews in woe, his own forces paste

4-The great king to be, oh what a great joke

5-The fine people of Skyrim; simple, plain folk

6-Can enjoy life, but oh savour the taste!

7-The Thalmor are coming; their deaths now haste

8-Their fate is now sealed, behind a great smoke

9-With forces all spent, Thalmor now unchecked

10-But oh, in the distance, a hero comes

11-Their name is unheard, their face is unknown

12-The fight will rage and Altmer's will be decked

13-A mighty army now strides, beating drums

14-An army comes with victorious tone

    Similarly, Twain uses situational irony to depict and to satirize Miss Watson and Widow Douglas' religious beliefs as well as the hypocrisy of Miss Watson’s guidance. Miss Watson educates Huck about religion and how to act appropriately through telling stories such as “Moses and the Bulrushes” (2), where Moses freed the Hebrew slaves from captivity. However, Miss Watson owns Jim, a slave, contradicting the moral of the story, Moses freeing slaves. Also, it is ironic that Miss Watson brings her slaves in for evening prayers: ”fetched the niggers in and had prayers”(3).Despite against the moral character of Christianity of having slaves, Miss Watson continues to teach these “righteous” behaviors to Huck, creating an ironic situation.

    The short story, “The Cask of Amontillado” written by Edgar Allen Poe is about a psychotic man named Montresor who seeks revenge against Fortunato, a man who allegedly committed malice towards him. Poe utilizes verbal irony to establish the story’s events and to create a humorous yet subtle way to show the misfortunes of Fortunato which eventually leads up to his death. For example, “Enough, he said; the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough” (Poe 241). Fortunato is correct because the cough does not kill him, however his death occurs later in the story because of a totally different reason. This conversation contributes to the story’s mood by adding a bit of humor since readers already know from the beginning…

    Most readers remember Edgar Allan Poe for his vivid use of situational irony. In the short story Cask of Amontillado, Poe employs this technique by introducing us to the narrator, Montresor. He explains that he told his servants that he would “not return until the morning” and had given them “explicit orders” to remain in the home in his absence. He makes this clear when he says, “I had told them that I should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house.” For this reason, he knows that they would not be there and his house would be empty when he returned with Fortunato. One would expect servants to listen to their master’s order, especially when it is given so explicitly, but their behavior defies…

The author portrays this idea by emphasizing how Lydia and George are wealthy, and how they have bought everything Wendy and Peter have desired.

And even though Lydia and George truly believe that giving their children whatever they yearn for is the only way to love and please their children, all children truly desire is the intimacy and affection from their parents.…
