IRONY: Irony is a device by which the exact opposite of the stated meaning of a situation or plot actually operates the plot. Those seeing the movie “Run Lola Run”
agree that there are considerable ironies (plot twist opposites) operating in the movie. For this paper, first explain the full meaning of the term “IRONY” –
perhaps using a literary dictionary or encyclopedia found in the media center or from an on line source. Then explain at least three *different* ironies (opposites)
involving characters or situations that occur in the film’s three episodes. Be sure to paraphrase (tell in your own words) useful examples from the film.
