Irony
Irony The use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.
Probably the biggest and most noticeable irony in the story is the creation of Pieces. Victor spends a very long time creating Pieces and is looking forward to seeing his finished creation. At first he was excited and very eager to build and see Pieces in completion, however, when he is completed, Pieces turns out to be completely different than what he had expected. It's very ironic because at first he was excited to build Pieces and to somewhat "bring back the dead" but in the end he ended up regretting what he had done. |
