Descriptive language that appeals to the reader's senses
Explanation:
Imagery in poetry is described as words that describe the environment and try to appeal to the reader´s senses, in literature is mostly the same, are words that describe the setting of a scene trying to create a tone that would appeal to the feelings of the reader thus creating a work more interesting and appealing to the reader, the ultimate goal of literature, specially artistic literature, poems, novels short stories, is to try and make us feel somthing, imagery helps with that goal.
This is an instance of dramatic irony, taking into account that this figure of spech is when the implications of a situation, speech, etc, are understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play.
