Some good examples of dramatic irony in the play "Oedipus The King" are as follows:

1. <span> Oedipus has been seeking to find out the murderer of King Laius in order to solve the plague. </span><span> This is dramatic irony because we know Oedipus murdered King Laius, but Oedipus himself doesn't</span> know this.

2. Oedipus said he would is willing to search out the murderers of King Laius with all of his might, as he would for his own father. This is dramatic irony because Oedipus doesn't realize that King Laius is his father (and that he was the one who killed King Laius).

3. <span>Oedipus is the blindest when he calls Tiresias, the seer blind. This is dramatic irony because the blind man is the one who actually sees the truth.

4. </span><span>Oedipus can answer the impossible Sphinx-riddle, but he has no answer to the riddle of his own existence.

5. </span><span>Every attempt that King Oedipus makes to avert danger, only serve to bring it nearer.</span>

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The use of counterclaims

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the two excerpts that this question refers to:

Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "The American Dream" speech.

<em>In a real sense, we must all learn to live together as brothers, or we will all perish together as fools.</em>

Now read the excerpt from the Governor George Wallace statement.

<em>The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . and uniting in effort . . has been so twisted and distorted from its original concept . . .</em>

What technique makes the two excerpts effective when used together?

The technique that makes these two excerpts effective is the use of counterclaims. In these passages, the speakers suggest main ideas. However, these are strengthened by the fact that they are supported by counterclaims. In the first example, King argues that we must all live together as brothers. This is his main claim. On the other hand, in the case of Governor George Wallace, he claims that the true brotherhood of America lies in respecting the separateness of others. This statement serves as the counterclaim to King's argument. Therefore, these statements become more effective when used together.
