Answer:

Dramatic or structural irony.

Explanation:

When the reader or audience knows more than the character or subject does, this is called dramatic or structural irony.

An example is when someone is reading a book and doesn't see that there is a hole in the ground in front of them! They don't see it and fall right in. The reader would know this was about to happen, but the character didn't know. This is an example of dramatic or structural irony.

The writer lets the reader know what is happening but hides it from the character.

I hope this helps! :)

What is ironic about the lion and tiger's adventure? Or, what makes the end of the lion and tiger's adventure so funny? Use quot
marin [14]

Answer:

The irony is in the fact that both the lion and the tiger end up doing exactly the opposite of what they intended.

Explanation:

Hi. From the context of your question, we can see that you are referring to “The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger,” which was written by L. Frank Baum. In this story we meet a lion who leaves its habitat determined to tear apart the first person it meets. In the same story, we see a tiger, which leaves its habitat determined to eat the first human baby it targets in front of it. The ironic thing is that when they find what they want they do completely different things.

The lion finds a woman lying on the ground and instead of tearing her to pieces, it lifts the woman and takes her home very gently and safely. The tiger, upon finding a baby on the ground, does not devour the baby, but takes it very gently to its mother, who is the woman the lion helped.
