JANE AUSTEN - IRONY AS DEFENSE AND DISCOVERY - SOME LINKS

'irony ... consists in the discrimination between impulse and pretension, between being and seeming, between ... man as he is and man as he aspires to be'

Iron is not always comic: 'it becomes comic when its very neutrality is exploited as a kind of relief from man's conventional response of outrage and involvement toward delusion and error'

[Critic: Marvin Mudrick]
