REPRESENTATIONS OF IRONY IN ARTISTIC TEXT

The interpretation of irony in works of art, as well as the disclosure of the mechanism of its action, are not without difficulties. Irony is often quite difficult to understand, especially in the works of fiction by foreign writers. The question of the context necessary for the functioning and implementation of irony also remains unresolved. Obviously, an ironic message can be localized in one word at the lexical level, but there is no single answer to the question of whether it can be read in the context of the entire work. This raises the problem of interpreting the context of irony.
