a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

The basic meaning of irony is the difference between how things seem to be and the reality. As a literary technique it is used when a certain outcome is revealed, but is not what readers were expecting or hoping for. Irony can be difficult to define; it's often subjective and depends on the audience's expectations.

Example:

Dramatic Irony in Romeo and Juliet

In the final act of this archetypal love story, Shakespeare employs dramatic irony to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

Friar Laurence sends a messenger to tell Romeo about Juliet’s plan to drug herself into deathlike coma. We watch in horror as the messenger fails to deliver this vital piece of information. And though we know that Juliet is not really dead, we see Romeo poison himself because he cannot live without her.

Read the excerpt from part one of Trifles. COUNTY ATTORNEY. How did she seem to feel about you coming? HALE. Why, I don’t think
mario62 [17]

Answer:

It suggests that she did not care about his death.

Explanation:

Mrs. Wright, a character in the play <em>Trifles, </em>kills her husband because of her loneliness. The police and her neighbors come to her house to investigate. Mrs. Hale, when asked about how Mrs. Wright behaved, says that she laughed after killing her husband.

It would seem based on this that Mrs. Wright didn't feel anything bad about her husband's death. She experienced severe loneliness and depression in her small-town, rural life, that she didn't see another escape other than murdering her own husband. Even though the husband did not treat her badly, per se, she still felt the need to get rid of him and regain her freedom.

Comment on the effective use of adjectives used to describe each of the seven ages.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as." Jacques, the speaker, uses several similes throughout the speech "The Seven Ages of Man" to compare various stages of man's life to different things. Discussing the second stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile when he compares a whining schoolboy reluctantly walking to class to a snail ("creeping like a snail"). Just as a snail moves slowly, the disgruntled boy reluctantly walks to school. In the third stage of man's life, the adolescent male is "sighing like furnace," which expresses the hot passions of young love. Discussing the fourth stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile to describe a soldier's facial features by writing that it is "bearded like a pard." A "pard" is an old word for a leopard. Shakespeare is essentially saying that the young solider's beard is patchy and spotted like a leopard's coat.
