INVITATION TO LOVE

A genre of love poetry in which a speaker invites the beloved to a life of mutual love or to some specific action, such as going for a walk in nature (which is usually metaphoric for a life of mutual love). The Song of Solomon contains two pastoral invitations to love, one uttered by the man (2:8–15) and the other by the woman (7:11–13).

IRONY

A rhetorical device or narrative situation in which incongruity or discrepancy is the essential ingredient. There are three main types of irony: dramatic irony, irony of situation, and verbal irony (see entries in this handbook).
