Dramatic irony is a stylistic device that is most commonly used by storytellers, in plays, in the theater, and in movies. The irony is used as a plot device to create situations where the reader knows much more about the episodes and the resolutions before the chief character or characters.

Examples are:

In Merchant of Venice, the reader is aware that Lancelot is cheating his father openly; in Tempest, Prospero and the reader are aware of the presence of Gonzalo on the Island but Miranda does not.

In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo finds Juliet in deep and drugged slumber, assumes her dead, and kills himself ignorantly before Juliet wakes up, discovers her dead lover, and kills herself.

What are 4 symbols from the treasure of lemon brown?<br><br> Please help me
PolarNik [594]

I could only find 3 sry. I can try to find more if you want...

<u>The report card</u> – The report card early in the story represented the conflict between Greg and his father. While the father wanted Greg to succeed and escape his environment, Greg wanted to be part of that environment as shown by his desire to join the community center basketball league. The author uses a report card which is a common example of how parents want more for their kids than the kids do.

<u>The harmonica</u> – The harmonica symbolized the livelihood and talent of Mr. Brown. It represented a way of life and of freedom that had passed in his life. It represented his dreams and the ability of this man to take care of his family by earning money through his music. The author uses a tangible object, seemingly worthless, to symbolize a treasure, something important that could be passed down – an object that the character’s son also found important.

<u> Sweet Lemon Brown</u> – The name itself is symbolic of by-gone days, as well as an adjective to describe the character. The name is typical of blues singers and the “pet” names that they acquired. Word of mouth “fame” in the form of a nickname, symbolized a certain status and recognition by other blues singers and their audiences.
