There are three types of irony, verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony is the use of words to mean something different than what the person says. Situational irony is when something different happens than what is expected. Lastly, dramatic irony is when is when the audience is aware of something the characters are not.

In the story "Harrison Bergeron," Vonnegut employs dramatic irony. The audience is aware that Harrison was murdered by the government, but the characters although they witnessed it, cannot recall mere moments later that their own son was murdered. He was murdered for rejecting the government and their control over trying to make everyone equal and the same mechanisms caused his own parents to forget him.

How does the setting in this passage help create suspense the fall of the house by usher?
I am Lyosha [343]

From the first lines of the history, the narrator tries to insert the reader in an obscure and sad atmosphere, where it predominates a mystery climate and exacerbated negativity.

The images lead the reader, from the beginning of the narrative to sensations and events that seem to challenge him and to invite to a construction process of differentiated sense.

The creation of the Gothic elements happens through the construction of the atmosphere of fear of the story, as well as the gloomy and decadent character, intensified still more on the phantasmagoric environment of the mansion Usher.

The characters also gain important narrative participation in the study work, as soon as his ambiguous characterization gives to the story a tone of estrangement. So, the Gothic thing in The Fall of the House of Usher is revealed through the morbid description of the narrative environments and of the decoration without life, of the imprecision that shows up around the nature of the events and of the characterization of the main characters, Madeline and Roderick Usher.
