The man is cold. As he walks towards you across the field he shivers. He thinks how good a fire would be. You can see there is a bonfire right in the middle of the field, but he doesn't notice it. He moves forward, shivering and complaining until he exits the field... |

This level shows people at their least capable. Even though we hate to admit it, at times we all live here sometimes. You are late for school, you can't find your math book, you look everywhere. You miss the bus. Your mom has to drive you. You're late anyway. You have to see the Principal. She asks you why you were late. You start to explain you were looking for your math book, gesture helplessly at your backpack, notice suddenly and with embarrassment that the math book has been there all the time. You have actually been existing on: The Ironic Level. The Ironic Level exists where a character has less power to perceive, and hence to act, than you normally do. A huge realm of literature exists on this level: short stories, novels, poems, plays, films, TV shows.... Want some examples?
