Question

Why is tituba’s prayer an example of dramatic irony?

Answer 1

Tituba's prayer is an example of dramatic irony because she prays to God only to show off to the people.

EXPLANATION:

• Dramatic irony occurs in a play when the audience knows the situation in the play and understands it, but the character doesn't understand the same.
• The words and the actions of the characters are often contradictory in this case.
• Tituba is a woman from Barbados who does black magic and she prays to God just to show to the people about her believes in God and is on God's side.
• But she was the one who did black magic, planned the dance in the forest and conjured the bad souls.
• Thus, her act is an example of dramatic irony.
