The answer is: inaction.
Quietism was a movement which started in Spain, France and Italy in 1600s. It believed in the passivity of spirituality and in a contemplative life. It also assumed that perfection could be achieved by the abolition of will, so God would approach someone when its soul is in a quiet state, without any reasoning or executing any actions. As a result, man would accept whatever God grants him.

Explanation:
The dramatic irony is identified in a text when the author uses symbols to pass messages to the public without revealing anything to the characters. This creates unpredictability for the character and an advantage for the audience that is following the story. In this case, the author can create humor (where the audience laughs at the character's naivete and therefore his inability to act correctly) or suspense (letting the reader know the element of drama that the character is not aware of).
