After Juliet's body is found, Lord Capulet says these lines from act IV of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: CAPULET: Death is my

son-in-law, Death is my heir; My daughter he hath wedded: I will die, And leave him all; life, living, all is Death's. How is the excerpt an example of dramatic irony? Capulet does not know that his true son-in-law is Romeo. Capulet expresses his grief by personifying death. Capulet is insulting Paris who would have been his son-in-law. Capulet does not know that Juliet is actually alive.

Answer: Capulet does not know that Juliet is actually alive.

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters of a narrative are unaware of. In this case, the lines are an example of dramatic irony because Capulet believes Juliet to be dead. However, the audience knows that Juliet has taken a potion that makes her appear dead, but that, in fact, she is alive and plans to escape with Romeo.

Capulet does not know Juliet is actually alive. He never knew about the potion, all he knew or thought was his daughter was dead so she couldn't get married to Count Paris...

How would you describe Elie Wiesel to someone who had never met him? (Night Book)
Natalka [10]
Eliezer is more than just a traditional protagonist; his direct experience is the entire substance of Night. He tells his story in a highly subjective, first-person, autobiographical voice, and, as a result, we get an intimate, personal account of the Holocaust through direct descriptive language
