Ironies are always in Lit even when you don't see it. It trumps everything.
This chapter talks about how irony occurs on a variety of levels.
From Foster:
"You character crashes his car into a billboard but is unhurt because his seat belt functioned as designed. Then before he can get it off, the billboard teeters, topples, and crushes him. Its message? Seat belts save lives" (255).
This is one of my favorites:
In the movie ParaNorman, Neil and Norman become friends. Neil asks Norman if he would be able to see his dead dog Bub. he goes on to explain that he was run over by the animal rescue van and follows it up with "tragic and ironic".
