Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to comprehend how situational irony in Thomas Hardy rsquo s short fiction entitled ldquo An Imaginative Woman rdquo conceptualizes a tension of irony in readers rsquo perceptiveness. To this aim this study tries to examine the relation among aspects the story plot characterizations focalizations and narrator rsquo s comments. The narration of this short story shows there are two representation levels of irony (1) the story level which contains the sequence of Ella rsquo s ironic events and portrayal of victimized characters (2) the narrative level consists of numerous focalizations which are entangled with formulation of readers rsquo perspective and narrator rsquo s intrusive comments as an embodiment of narrator rsquo s unreliability. This paper suggests situational irony that signifies the dynamic strategy of narrative in order to manifest the tension of irony within the story and its representation. Additionally this strategy emphasizes readers rsquo compatibility role to reaching out the irony of the narrative.
