Dante introduces the narrator as someone who is completely lost, confused, and alone. He says "I cannot well repeat how there I entered, So full was I of slumber at the moment <span>In which I had abandoned the true way." This quote shows that he was so sleepy that he lost his way and has no idea how he got to where he currently is. </span>

The reader can connect with the narrator because at one point or another, most people have felt like the path they were on has been lost. They also are at the same starting position as the narrator who does not really know much about the world he is encountering. This way the reader and the narrator can discover the rest of the story and world together.

Which line in this excerpt from act IV of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet best reveals the dramatic irony of the scene?
laiz [17]

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their battling families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. They are considered the perfect model for the young love.

Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Shakespeare's use of his poetic dramatic structure has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play assigns different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more proficient at the sonnet over the course of the play.

The play is set in Verona, Italy, begins with a street fight between Montague and Capulet servants who, like their masters, are sworn enemies. Prince Escalus of Verona mediates and declares that further rupture of the peace will be punishable by death. Later, Count Paris talks to Capulet about marrying his daughter Juliet, but Capulet asks Paris to wait another two years and invites him to attend a planned Capulet ball. Lady Capulet and Juliet's nurse try to persuade Juliet to accept Paris's courtship. But contrary to everyone’s wishes and better fate Juliet fall in love with one of the Montagues, Romeo, and the tragedy properly starts.

From the options you presented in the comments the best line that best reveal the dramatic irony is :

The last line.

O, well-a-day, that ever I was born!

Both Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Sonnet 14” and Pablo Neruda’s ‘Sonnet 17” discuss love in terms of negatives—things that are
Artist 52 [7]
Both Browning's and Neruda's sonnets present love as a feeling that should not cling to anything temporary or transient. They try to tell us what love is by telling us what it shouldn't be. Browning introduces the following negatives: smile, look, gentle manners, the need for comfort. She points out that these things may pass. Even though they are conventionally understood as signs of love, she wants something better and more stable than that. She wants to be loved for love's sake, as love is eternal.

For Neruda, on the other hand, love is something he can't describe by likening it to particular, specific, well-known things or feelings. It is indescribable and unknowable, and therefore indefinite. It escapes any kind of attempt to fixate it by connections to this world.
