| dc.description.abstract | This study discusses irony in fables, how they are used and their relevance in these fables.I therefore studied six fables using the feature of irony according to D.C Muecke which are: Irony as appearance versus reality and irony as pretend and confident unawareness. In my study, I found out that irony when used in fables normally centers on characters' behavior. It however does less of criticizing as irony is known to do, basing on it's being an element of satire. In fables, irony more of brings out themes and lessons to be passed on to the audience. | en_US |
