Unintentional irony

The irony is, obviously, unintentional. Seldom used in a work of art, often in premonitions that ironically turn right. It is a negative kind of coincidence about which the author has very little knowledge or doesn't have any such intention. For example, the emergency number in the USA is 911 and a critical emergency unintentionally took place on 9/11.

In Dante's art one can find unintentional irony at work that wouldn't have been ironical back then.

The Law of Irony

If you like something ironically for long enough you will start to actually like it.

Person 1: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

irony bar

When something is repeatedly ironic to an exaggerated degree, that it's as if you're being hit by the irony again and again. Not actually a physical iron bar.

While we were reading 'Othello', Shakespeare would not quit hitting us over the head with the irony bar!
