IronyIrony is similar to sarcasm. Its when you predict something and have a different outcome than what you thought. An example of irony in "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell would be the fact that Rainsford, being a hunter, became the hunted. I said that this would be an example of irony because at the beginning of the story we thought that Rainsford was going on a hunting trip, but then he hunted.
