On irony in Pride and Prejudice
Abstract
This thesis discusses the application of irony in Pride and Prejudice, a well-known novel written by Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice continues to be popular today not only because of its memorable characters and the general appeal of the story, but also because of the perfect use of rhetoric. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen displays a masterful use of irony, which heightens the vividness of the characters, prompts the development of the plots and makes it a great realistic comic novel. In this thesis, three types of irony are discussed, namely, verbal irony, dramatic irony and situational irony. The irony in Pride and Prejudice plays an important role in expressing the themes, creating characters and organizing plots and language.
Key Words: Jane Austen; Pride and Prejudice; verbal irony; dramatic irony; situational irony
