Situational Irony- A vegetarian eats pizza because he is hungry. A traffic cop gets a ticket for speeding. An ambulance runs over a injured person.
Dramatic- You know who the monster is, but the protagonist does not. Romeo pretends to kill himself, and his sister actually kills herself. In Macbeth by William Shakespeare Macbeth appears to be loyal to Duncan but he is planning Duncan's murder. Duncan doesn't know Macbeth's plans but the audience knows what is going to happen.
Verbal- I see an ugly shirt and say "nice shirt". A car expert sees a crappy car and says "it runs like a charm". A lady needs help with a computer problem and the guy helping says "You are very tech savvy!"
