"In the morning Stephen rushed to her, shouting that 'he' was gone, and asking 'where' and 'how.'" Lifting her nose in the air she said superciliously, 'Fairy Godmother, I suppose?' and strolled away patting the palms of her hands." Explain the irony in Julia's comment "Fairy Godmother, I suppose?" (Verbal Irony is when one says one thing but means another.)

Respuesta :

The irony in Julia’s statement “Fairy godmother, I suppose?” is because both she and Stephen know that there is no such thing as fairy godmothers. Her comment wasn’t meant to be taken seriously because even though she knows that fairy godmothers don’t exist, she still asked it to Stephen as a form of sarcasm.

Answer:

The irony of the statement Fairy Godmother, I suppose              is because her and Stephen both know that fairy godmothers are not real.    Her comment was meant to not be taken serious as she knows that there are no such things as a fairy godmother as well. She meant it in a sarcastic or a facetious way.
