rony was extremely slowly.  In Cicero and Quintilian, irony,  as  a  useful  way  of  attacking  one?s  competitor  in  an  argument,  was  ignored  at  first.  Irony  was primarily considered to be a figure of speech for two hundred years. And it was not until the Renaissance that irony was theorized as a rhetorical device and was often classified as a kind of fable: one way of saying one thing and meaning another.

2.2 An Introduction to Pride and Prejudice
The  novel  Pride and Prejudice  is a highly celebrated masterpiece  because of  its fascinating plot and graceful  language.  The  ironic  utterances  extracted  from  this  novel  are  chosen  as  the  data  in  the  present study because the application of irony is definitely one of the characteristics in this novel.The Bennets are the focus of the novel: Mr.Bennet, Mrs. Bennet and their five lovely daughters whose love and marriage is specifically described in this novel.  Mrs. Bennet  firmly believes that  their daughters must  search  for  wealthy  husbands  to  live  a  better  life.  And  in  this  time,  Charles  Bingley  and  Fitzwilliam Darcy,  two  wealthy  and  good  looking  young  men,  come  to  stay  in  the  neighborhood.  And  Bingley  has fallen in love with Jane, the eldest daughter and Darcy?s ignorance and coldness make Elizabeth who is a sapiential  and  intelligent  girl  dislike  him.  And  George  Wickham,  an  army  officer,  appeals  to  Elizabeth?s interest at first and defames Darcy at the same time, which makes Elizabeth believe that Darcy is a bad man. And  later  Bingly?s  departure  makes  Jane  extremely  brokenhearted  and  Elizabeth  tardily  knows  that Wickham  is  a  hypocritical  and  outrageous  man  and  Darcy  is  misunderstood.  After  several  months,  she encounters Darcy accidentally and becomes passionate for him. At this moment, a piece of news that Lydia, the  younger  sister,  has  eloped  with  Wickham  has  reached  her.  And  thanks  to  Darcy?s  help,  Wickham marries  Lydia.  And  finally  the  story  has  a  happy  ending  that  Elizabeth  marries  to  Darcy  and  Jane  to Bingley. And the novel has been studied and discussed many times about the issue of women?s social status. By writing the novel, Jane Austen  states her point of view that women should fight for their  independent dignity and social status, which represents an advanced thinking of feminine consciousness.
