sorry for the delay computer difficulties. but i kno a verbal irony is when you say something but mean another.
ex: "oh great" is usually said when being facetious so i dont think its that either. i would go with b. but im still not sure about pun because im not an expert on shakespeare n would not know how he'd use that in his writing.
