Abstract
The Book of Esther is a complex narrative rich in rhetorical devices, with irony being one of its central characteristics. The study delves into the intricate layers of irony that are present in Esther and examines how it functions as a rhetorical tool to convey diverse themes – such as the triumph of the innocents. Through a detailed analysis of situations and key passages, the various forms and purposes of irony employed throughout the text are highlighted. Additionally, by exploring the interplay between dramatic, situational and verbal irony, the paper tries to decipher the profound rhetorical sophistication of Esther and its implications for understanding the narrative's deeper meanings.
