I watched Allison Strong perform William Shakespeare's "Sonnet CXXX; My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun" Allison put her hands on her hips to look proper because the poem was about a mistress who was proper. She talked in a kind of a British accent to emphasize the properness of the poem.
She sounded like she was complimenting on her mistress' beauty, but really she was saying that she was disgusting and ugly. She was disguising her complaints so that they would sound like compliments. It has irony because she sounds like she is saying compliments with that tone of voice.
