20.500.12556/DKUM-59971 HUMOR IN IRONIJA V DELIH MARKA HADDONA HUMOUR AND IRONY IN MARK HADDON`S NOVELS V The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time nam avtor skozi prvoosebnega pripovedovalca naslika portret petnajstletnika z Aspergerjevim sindromom, obliko avtistične motnje. Medtem, ko Christopher razrešuje uganko misterioznega umora psa v soseščini, bralcem nehote razkrije podrobnosti iz lastnega življenja, razloge za razhod staršev, odnose v šoli, manjše in večje osebne bitke, ki vodijo v manjše ali večje, enkrat zmage, spet drugič poraze. Vseskozi pa doživljamo pripoved drugače, kakor svoje življenje doživlja on, saj zaradi bolezenskega stanja ni sposoben socialne interakcije. A Spot of Bother prikazuje padec še ne dolgo tega uspešnega človeka na vodilnem položaju, ki pa ob upokojitvi začne razmišljati o smrti, bolezni in najmračnejših straneh življenja. Medtem opazi spremenjeno tkivo na boku, za katero smatra, da je rakasto in usodno zanj, izve za ženino nezvestobo s svojim nekdanjim sodelavcem, sinove težave v istospolni zvezi in hčerino poroko z moškim, ki ga nihče ne mara, a je prijazen do njenega otroka iz prejšnje zveze. Vse to je za Georgea preveč in prične izgubljati razum. Obe fiktivni zgodbi izpod peresa Marka Haddona, ki obravnavata težki življenjski situaciji posameznikov, sta predstavljeni z obilico humorja in ironije v zanj značilnem slogu. In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time the author paints a portrait of life of a fifteen-year-old autistic boy by implementing the first person narration technique. While Christopher is resolving the riddle of a mysterious murder of a neighbourhood dog, he unintentionally reveals details from his own life, the reason for his parents’ separation, relations at school, and his minor and major inner struggles leading to bigger or smaller victories or defeats. Nevertheless, we experience the narration differently from him experiencing certain situations he finds himself in, as he is unable of any social interaction due to his condition. A Spot of Bother shows the decline of a successful manager, who starts thinking about death, illnesses and the dark side of life immediately after his retirement. He notices a lesion on his hip and is certain it is a form of lethal cancer, learns of his wife’s infidelity with his former colleague, of his son being gay, and his daughter’s wedding to a man nobody likes even though he is exceptionally good with her son from a previous relationship. George cannot process it all and starts losing his sanity. Both fictional stories by Mark Haddon describe difficult situations in the lives of two individuals and are presented with plenty of humour and irony. I will analyse the modes of irony and humour Haddon uses in these two novels and I will show how this use of irony humour is essential to the development of the themes in each novel.
