A critical analysis of irony and its effectiveness in selected Acholi fables

Abstract

This research is set to critically analyse the effectiveness of irony in Acholi fables. It explains how the irony used in these fables bring out the intended meanings in these stories. I was in position to use knowledge acquired from oral literature and also read numerous books, articles and journals that guided me through this research to come out with how effective irony used in fables. This enabled me to discover that irony can help in developing themes, lessons and character traits in the different stories with the intention of passing morals to the society.
