The Irony

:sing: It's like ra-i-ain on your wedding day.:sing:

And just like the song, there is nothing ironic here.



Ironic, don't you think?:rolleyes:
 
The definition of Irony: 1: The use of words to express the opposite of what one really means. 2: Incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the expected result.
 
google poetic justice and you will find:

an outcome in which virtue triumphs over vice (often ironically)

Yes, poetic justice can be ironic. That is one of the stipulations that separate it from being regular ol' justice.

Usually it is when a person gets what they deserve in the same manner in which they have given to others, for good or bad, and in a creative way. Hence the poetic.

The story where a man sells his watch to buy a hair clip for his love and she sells her hair to buy him a watch band is ironic, but not poetic justice because they did not deserve their fate.

A poor person giving their last penny to a beggar that turns out to be a rich prince in disguise searching for an honest person to name their heir, would be both ironic and poetic justice.

A ***** ******** being stabbed to death in prison would be poetic justice, but it would not be ironic. The key factor in irony is the unexpected.
 
So then, if the doctor weren't the owner of the dogs and thus hadn't known about their violent behavior. And they ended up ******* him, would it then be ironic?
