Question

Think of another work (a story ,myth, novel,play,or movie) that employs either situational or dramatic irony.Explain how this irony appears in the work

Answer 1

The play Othello, by William Shakespeare, makes use of dramatic iron. Throughout the play the main villain, Iago, lets the audience know of his plans through use of monologues, asides, and his dialogue with his allies. However, Othello himself never knows what Iago's plans are. Othello ends up falling for every trick that Iago plants and the audience is forced to watch it happen as they know what will happen.
