My teacher said just what irony was.she said it was a technique of writing hiding the real facts, and message, and highlighting the unimportant stuff.
Eg:a prisoner is being bullied by warders.
In here, eventhough he is a prisoner he is a human.
Irony works here.(what is said doesn't mean what it seems to mean at first reading.there are also utterances and incidents which evoke a response opposite to what one might expect.)
This feels kind of right.
But, according to you (what you say),
Which irony is it?
And is it correct?
It would be really helpful if you find some time to reply this.

Some sarcasm can fall into the realms of irony, but irony is much bigger than sarcasm.
