Irony is defined as a difference or contrast between appearance and reality - that is a discrepancy between what appears to be true and what really is true. What irony can you find in Of Mice and Men?
3 Types of Irony-
1. Verbal irony occurs when people say the opposite of what they mean (and in its most bitter form becomes sarcasm.)
2. Situational irony is when the situation is different from what common sense indicates it is, will be, or ought to be.
3. Dramatic irony occurs when a character states something that they believe to be true but that the reader knows is not true.
