The grandmother repeatidly says to the misfit that he is a good man .
and he comes from good people and he would not shoot a "Lady". Which in reality he is .
not a good man and he does shoot her with no remorse. .
O"conner also uses situational irony in his story to turn the readers around. .
Situational irony emphasizes that human beings are enmeshed in forces beyond their .
comprehension and control. One instance of situational irony is the clouds. At the .
beginning of their trip they played a game with the clouds, meaning that there were .
plenty in the sky. At the end, when they are all dead, there are no clouds in the sky and .
that is made clear to the reader. At the beginning of their trip in the car, they were all .
together and happy, everything was great. Explaining the fullness of the clouds, fullness .
of life. At the end when the misfit had killed all of them everything was gone, life was .
gone, murdered, taken away. Explaining the emptiness in the sky. Another example of .
situational irony is the cat. The cat that the grandma was not suppose to bring, first of .
which the grandma was not suppose to go. So the cat that wasn't suppose to be there .
jumped onto Bailey, making him lose control of the car on a rode they weren't suppose .
to be on, in the wrong state. All brought about by the grandmother. And then after the .
wreck she FLAGS DOWN the killers. .
Another kind of irony used is dramatic irony. Which is a kind of situational irony .
in which characters have only a nonexistent, partial, incorrect, or misguided .
understanding of what is happening to them, while both the readers and other characters .
understand the situation more fully one or more of the other characters understand it .
entirely. The first example of dramatic irony is of course us knowing that they are in the .
wrong place. The grandmother is afraid to tell Bailey that the plantation she wanted to see .
is not on this road, not even in the same state.
