Abstract

One of literary devices that can be applied to literary works is irony. The irony as literary device is a figure of speech in which the speaker’s meaning is far from the usual meaning of the words or quite the opposite. In this study, the author analyzing the irony in novel The Amulet of Samarkand, to get in-depth explanation of the types of irony in the novel, how it was portrayed and how it was connected to the plot of the story. Furthermore, this study is part of literary criticism since the researcher approach the literary work by New Criticism theory then interprets and analyze the literary work by Kennedy’s theory of irony. The theory of irony applied to analyze the irony as a literary device in the novel The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud. The findings show that there are five kinds of irony in the novel; verbal irony, dramatic irony, cosmic irony, situational irony, and ironic point of view. Hence, the researcher found that each of irony works to the plot as it was play roles as an agent to move the plot to its rising action and climax, and the it works to emphasize some important point in the plot as well.

乔纳森·斯特劳德《撒马尔罕的护身符》中的讽刺
反讽是文学作品中可以运用的一种文学手法。反讽是一种修辞手法,在这种修辞手法中,说话者的意思与词语通常的意思相去甚远,或者完全相反。本文通过对小说《撒马尔罕的护身符》中的反讽进行分析,对小说中的反讽类型、反讽的刻画方式以及反讽与故事情节的联系进行深入的阐释。此外,本研究是文学批评的一部分,因为研究者用新批评理论来研究文学作品,然后用肯尼迪的反讽理论来解释和分析文学作品。运用反讽理论分析斯特劳德小说《撒马尔罕的护身符》中的反讽手法。研究结果表明,小说中的反讽有五种类型;言语反讽,戏剧反讽,宇宙反讽,情境反讽,和反讽的观点。因此,研究人员发现,每一个反讽都对情节起着推动者的作用,将情节推进到上升的动作和高潮,并对情节中的一些重点进行强调。以讽刺手法强调的情节要点,如;拿撒尼尔的天真,所做的事和结果的不一致,以及魔鬼狡猾的本性。
