Irony that is inherent in speeches or a situation of a drama and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the characters in the play

Dramatic irony is prevalent in literature. An example of dramatic irony is a horror movie. Let's say that a character goes into a room that the audience knows a murderer is hiding. This is an example of dramatic irony since the audience knows what is happening, but the character doesn't. Essentially, dramatic irony is irony expressed through the knowledge of the audience and the lack of knowledge of the characters.

I hope this helps :)

What other images and language devices has shakespeare used here to show the conflict between hamlet and gertrude? (act 1 scene
Anna007 [38]
Shakespeare uses a couple techniques to show the conflict between Hamlet and Gertrude in this scene, irony being the one most used.

First, Hamlet speaks in an aside (meaning no one else can hear him) to indicate he's not interested in speaking to his family -- they are "less than kind."

Then, Gertrude comments on Hamlet's clothing, indicating he's mourning too much. She tells him directly to be kind to Claudius. She says people die all the time, and he replies "aye, it is common," an ironic reply. The death of a king is not "common" -- nor is murder.

Then, Hamlet discusses the meaning of the word "seem," implying that people could fake their grief. (He's implying, perhaps, that Gertrude faked her grief.) His grief, however, IS real.
