Irony is a way of speaking that implies a discrepancy between what is said and what is meant or which actually implies the exact opposite of what is said. The woman by expressing the statement, "Bless the kindness... is actually raining curses on the allied forces that came. in the guise of helping the guise of liberating the people. to ruin the city, kill all the male adults and children and enslave the women. It is thus ironic that she "blesses" the enemies. By paradox. we mean when two things. that should not exist at the same time are said to exist in the same situation. thereby showing contradiction.
