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.

Answer:

Iron Maiden's reference to the line from Shakespeare's play is an example of:

B. literary allusion.

Explanation:

The figure of speech known as allusion happens when an author references to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. For instance, suppose you are writing an essay about kindness and selflessness. If you call someone a good Samaritan, you are alluding to a biblical character known for his kindness. When making an allusion, just like that one, the author expects the reader or listener to know what he is talking about. You do not explain what a good Samaritan is, since you expect your readers to know about the biblical story.

That is what we have in Iron Maiden's song: a literary allusion. The composer of the lyrics used lines from Shakespeare's play, from a literary work. He does not explain them, but he expects his listeners to know what he is referencing to.
