What technique of fiction is used here to add depth to the narrative? irony parody foreshadowing metaphor

Sagot :

This is an example of irony.

It's not parody since the action isn't being dramaticized or made ridiculous, nor is it foreshadowing since there's it's not really suggesting that this later incident will happen. It's also not a metaphor since it's not different things being compared or likened to one another.
