Antirealist Humor In Toole's A Confederacy Of Dunces

Decent Essays
Antirealist humor can appear unapologetic to some audiences depending on the topical content, particularly laughing at violence. However, there may be a few exceptions to other surrounding audiences. Antirealism is merely an abstract concept that conveys the action of placing the impractical and ambiguous towards real life. Since there is no limit to the quantity and quality of creativity, some people believe that antirealism overcomes the barriers of taking in a world of endless ideas galvanizing those to view reality in boundless perspectives. John Kennedy Toole’s novel A Confederacy of Dunces is a comedy that notoriously characterizes Ignatius Reilly as an anti-hero. From Toole’s antirealist humor, the novel has received much applauded critical

    Tim O’Brien is a writer that, while impressive, can be described as indulgent with his words; going on for pages at a time on one topic and not sparing a single detail. This, of course, is part of his charm, which is why his vignettes are never lacking in any rhetorical devices. However, in his “The Man I Killed” from his The Things They Carried the rhetorical devices become much less prominent, because the protagonist, Tim O’Brien, retreats into himself. Instead the reader must then shift gears to understand O’Brien’s message—the feeling, shock, obsession, and delusion that comes from killing someone—which he communicates using more subtle and less assertive devices such as tone, hyperbole, and antithesis.…

    In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Time Haddon uses dramatic Irony to showcase the theme that everybody views their aspects of life differently and he attempts to do this by describing Christopher’s characterization and point of view. To begin with, in Chapter 29 Christopher talks about why he finds people confusing. That itself is dramatic irony because he is also a human, yet humans sometimes don’t understand other humans, and other humans might not understand him, like the characters who don’t understand why he is trying to solve the murder mystery. Christopher not only shares his point of view of translating certain human facial expressions but he also explains his views on metaphors. To illustrate, Christopher believes…

    Satire In The Acharnian

    • 8 Pages

    Satire is a form of writing that makes use of humor, irony, and exaggeration to criticize a group of people’s views about a certain topic that is going on in the world. Satire has been around for a long time, but it has kept the same general aspects throughout all of time. Even with the 2,000 year-gap and differences in writing techniques and technology between “The Acharnians” and Stephen Colbert’s “The Word: Armistice,” both works utilize satire and have a very similar way of presenting it to their respective audiences. “The Acharnians” is a play written by Athenian playwright Aristophanes, and it is set during the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. In the play, Dicaeopolis is an Athenian farmer that is one of the very few people…

    An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Symbolism is a device that can make even the most solid ideas crumble down because of what the author is trying to say “in between the lines.” Ambrose Bierce wrote “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” with real world experience. “Bierce was especially suited to write stories about the Civil War, since he served in the Union army”(An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Shmoop). This man was a part of a war, which gave him the knowledge of how things worked in the military, thus the in-depth detail of the military officers within the story. The use of symbolism in, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” creates an uncanny feeling and sends chills down the spine of any reader that really pays attention to the level of…

    Candide is reflective of Voltaire’s reasoned outlook of contemporary philosophy during the 18th century, and his lack of belief in the ‘all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds’ perception, which was popular at the time. He conveys these in Candide through the use of irony and humour, depicting the life of a character who is brought up to believe in cause and effect, but learns otherwise through his experiences. Voltaire was inspired to write Candide by several disastrous historical events which occurred during the mid 1700s.…

    In Indian Horse, Wagamese uses irony to highlight the hypocritical nature of those who are part of the residential school. Some of this irony is immediately clear, but some is not evident until the later in the book when new information comes to light about the Father Leboutlier’s true character. The first use of irony that we can see revolves around the name of the solitary confinement cage used by the nuns to discipline children at the school. The cage, known as the “Iron Sister”, is located in the cold, dark basement of the school, and isn’t even tall enough to allow you to kneel.…

    In her article “Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious,” Antonia Peacocke discusses how those who watch the show Family Guy should realize the creators’ jokes should be viewed as what they are intended to be: a harsh reality rather than crude. Peacocke argues that when taken at face value, Family Guy’s humor could potentially be considered offensive. Instead, the creator Seth Macfarlane intelligently uses satire to mock American culture. The article is overall effective with one minor weakness. The article gains a majority of its effectiveness from the author providing her own personal experiences to help the reader relate to the topic at hand, and by pulling examples straight from the show to back up her argument.…

    The short story “The Gift of the Magi” by O. Henry portrays the theme that 'relationships are more important than material belongings' through its use of situational irony. To start, when Della cut her hair, Jim said that there was not “a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less” (Henry 107). This shows that Jim does not love Della for her hair, even though it may be a very defining feature of her, Jim didn't like her any less. Also, even though Jim got her combs for Christmas, he didn't get mad at Della for cutting her hair, loving her all the same. Secondly, Della cut her hair to buy a present that “had surely been made for Jim and no one else” (Henry 106).…
