In "the open window" by Saki. The character Framton decides to go to the Stappletons' house to relax because he has been extremely nervous and believes the countryside will help him relax. Framton waits for Mrs.. Sappleton but Vera comes first and they start a conversation in which he discovers about the tragedy. This works as a contradiction to his expected outcome and actually makes him even more nervous.
The whole incident goes against what Framton expected, therefore is considered a situational irony.
The phrase in which that contradiction seems reflected from Framton Nuttel's perspective is: "She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible."
Situational irony occurs when the is a disparity between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. An example of situational irony in this story is;
- C. “She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible.”
When the child was telling the horrible story to Mr. Frampton her mood was cheerful. This is not normal because one would expect that she will be in a serious mood.
The opposite is the case because the girl was happy while Mr. Frampton was getting scared.
Summarily, the fact that the girl was cheerful when telling a scary story demonstrates situational irony. It is the opposite of what is expected.
