A Writer's Day

011: What Is Irony?


Listen Later

Let me know what you think of this episode!

Irony is a handy literary technique that you can use to add emphasis and drama to your story. It's a great way to draw your readers in. In this episode, I look at two award-winning movies that used irony in a most excellent way: Places in the Heart and Rear Window

 SPOILER ALERT!! I will be discussing how both movies end, so if you haven't seen them, you might want to skip ahead in the episode.
