Explanation:
The dramatic irony is identified in a text when the author uses symbols to pass messages to the public without revealing anything to the characters.

In this case, the author can create humor (where the audience laughs at the character's naivete and therefore his inability to act correctly) or suspense (letting the reader know the element of drama that the character is not aware of).
