Irónicas

Irónicas refers to a genre of literature and artistic expression characterized by the use of irony. Irony, in its various forms, involves a discrepancy between what is said and what is meant, or between what is expected to happen and what actually occurs. Works that are considered irónicas often employ sarcasm, understatement, overstatement, or dramatic irony to create a particular effect. This effect can range from humorous to critical, often highlighting contradictions, absurdities, or hypocrisies within society, human nature, or a specific situation. The intent behind irónicas can be to provoke thought, expose flaws, or simply to entertain through clever wordplay and unexpected twists. The term itself, while not a universally recognized academic category in the same way as "tragedy" or "comedy," is sometimes used to describe works where irony is a dominant and defining feature, shaping the narrative, character development, and overall message. Examples can be found across various media, including novels, plays, poetry, and even visual arts. The interpretation of irónicas can sometimes depend on the audience's understanding of the underlying ironic intent.
