'''Irony''' (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία ''eironeía'', meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance) is a literary or [[Rhetoric|rhetorical device]], in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does, and what one means or what is generally understood. Irony is a mode of expression that calls attention to discrepancy between two levels of knowledge. In fiction, it is a demonstration of the distance between the character's [[knowledge]] and that of the audience.
