Irony in English-Language Fiction as an Expression of the Author's Worldview on the Example of Theodore Dreiser's Creativity
Central Asian Journal of Literature, Philosophy and Culture, 4 (3): 42-46 (April 2023)
Abstract
Irony is a crucial component of writing, but describing it is undoubtedly difficult. Though it can take many different shapes in fiction, it always requires thinking twice since there is a disconnect between expectation and outcome. Irony frequently has a quirky or peculiar quality, with strange comparisons, contrasts, and disjunctions. In real life, we might not appreciate some ironic reversals, but they can undoubtedly be a boon to literature.
