IRONY IN AMERICAN LITERATURE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EDGAR ALLAN POE AND ERNEST HEMINGWAY
Keywords:
Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway, irony, Gothic literature, modernism, narrative technique, American literature.Abstract
This article explores the use of irony in the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Ernest Hemingway, two seminal American authors whose literary styles and thematic concerns diverge significantly. By analyzing key texts—Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Raven”, alongside Hemingway’s “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”, “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”, and “Hills Like White Elephants” – this study examines how each author employs irony to enhance narrative complexity and deepen thematic resonance. The juxtaposition of Poe’s Gothic irony with Hemingway’s minimalist approach offers insights into the evolution of American literary traditions and the enduring power of irony as a narrative device.
