Question

What is dramatic irony?


A. Contradiction between words and full meaning
B. Explicit meaning
C. Form and structure of words
D. Subtle hints that tell the audience what will happen later

Answer 1

It is not B, C or D.
Thus we are left with A. Contradiction between words and full meaning.
Though dramatic irony is usually more complex.

For instance an example of dramatic irony, is when the spectator knows more about protago­nist than himself.
