Situational Irony
Situational irony is the contrast between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen. It refers to a specific situation or event. Verbal irony is the contrast between what someone says and what is actually meant. Think sarcasm. Dramatic irony is when the audience knows a key piece of information that a performer on stage does not. An example is Romeo and Juliet during the balcony scene. The audience knows Romeo is listening in on Juliet's private thoughts, but she does not. A conflict is a problem and the resolution is how it is fixed.

Dante is standing at the mouth of hell with Virgil and he feels a great sense of dread and apprehension about continuing. Virgil then tells him that a women told him to find Dante and be his guide in hell, this lady was Beatrice. She came down from Heaven to tell Virgil of Dante's story and ask him to help Dante. Beatrice was Dante's true love (in real life and in the story) who died and is now counted among the blessed in Heaven. She had learned of Dante's plight from St. Lucia, also in Heaven, who in turn heard about the poor poet from the Virgin Mary. Beatrice symbolizes divine love and is sent by Mary and Lucia to help Dante by enlisting Virgil's help. Beatrice also knows that Dante will listen to Virgil if he knows that she has intervened and still loves him and that he is being watched over.
