Theory of Prose Irony

Theory of Prose Irony

The irony of art

The satire of art is that the author cannot differentiate its manifestation in poetry and other figures of speech. As much as art is imagery and symbolism, its application differs from each literary device. Therefore, it is satirical for the author to generalize the application and integration of art in literature.

The satire of the relationship between literary works

The author refers to Eugene Onegin's novel to come up with a connection of plot and other literary devices. Ironically, the author concludes that its association with the current works characterizes fictional work! How is that possible? The reader knows that the plot and structure can vary, implying that their structure defines each literary work.

The of sensations

According to the author, consistent discernment is mechanical. However, the reader finds this assumption satirical because people's experiences are often cataleptic but not computerized, as the author tries to assume. However, the reader agrees that literary work is powerful because of its ability to make objects discernible.

The irony of human existence

The author argues that the comatose life can be brought back to existence by art. Ironically, the reality remains that a life that is lived at the cataleptic level is like it was never lived in the first place. Therefore, despite art playing a significant role in making life meaningful, it cannot revive a life that was never lived.
