Abstract

Irony is not a simple stylistic device used in literary work to enrich its meaning and themes. Irony is essential to both the writer's and the readers' cultural backgrounds. It is an essential tool to understand inner identity and purpose in life. Consequently, many academic studies analyze its significant use and representation in different literary works. Jane Austen, on her part, is regarded as a master of using irony in her novels. Irony was her secret weapon to represent the suffering of women under the domination of the patriarchal society. Her novel, Emma, is not only a simple example of her use of irony, but it is her masterpiece, which is based entirely and fundamentally on irony. In Emma, the brilliant novelist has weaved her use of the various types of irony, namely, verbal, situational, structural, and dramatic, with an aesthetic value, turning its incidents and characters into memorable identities. The current study is devoted to examining the intermingling use of the various types of irony that reflect the unique literary talent of the novelist that skillfully matches her social critic role in fixing the vices of her patriarchal community.
