When the writer ridicules social vices and weaknesses of human nature that 
are typical of social groups or classes, the humor is then ironical or satirical humor. 
Mistaken Identity 
serves to be an illustration of satirical humor. In a most amusing, 
way the writer ridicules such socially conditioned vices as servility and vanity. 
Humor is intended to improve imperfections by means of laughter, whereas irony 
always conveys an obviously negative attitude and is intended to mock and satirize. 
On what basis do we infer that what we are reading is ironical? 
Irony
is generally defined as a double sense based on contrast between the 
explicitly expressed and the implied meaning. In its turn, the implied is always the 
direct opposite of what is actually said. Thus, a word or a statement in a particular 
context or situation may acquire a meaning opposite to what it has as a rule. The 
irony suggests the discrepancy between the word or statement and its actual sense, 
which is the true one and which the intelligent reader is expected to infer. For 
example, “This is 
beautiful 
weather!” (when the weather is bad). The word 
beautiful 
is the direct opposite of what it literally means. In oral communication 
beautiful 
would be marked by ironical intonation, whereas in writing it might be marked by 
means of italics, inverted commas or it might not be marked at all. As a rule, the 
ironist does not tell us directly that he is being ironical. That is why it is generally 
considered that detecting irony depends on one's intelligence. 
When reading fiction we might sometimes fail to detect irony even if the 
author's intention was to be ironical, or we might tend to perceive irony in what was 
not meant to be ironical at all. What types of irony should the readers of fiction be 
aware of to be able to understand the real intentions of the author? For this purpose 
one should distinguish three types of irony in fiction:
