What Is Dramatic
Irony And How
to Use It In Writing
https://www.assignmenthelppro.com/blog/dramatic-irony/
Dramatic irony is a literary
device used in writing to
develop the situation in which
the work’s character exists. The
reader or the audience can get
more information about the
situation or event other than the
action of the character. It is
commonly used in, poetry,
drama, and theatres.
Use Dramatic Irony In The Writing


While using dramatic irony it should be connected
with the theme of the story. The character should
create the statement through speech or action that
pitches the danger or emotion of the scene into
relief. The dialogue will change or opposite meaning
and similarly, the action will be misunderstood in
some way.
Why Use Dramatic Irony?


Dramatic Irony is used to create
hidden situations of character. It is
commonly used because the authors
want to remain in the interest of the
audience or the readers. Therefore,
the audience and the reader are given
the necessary information so that
they can understand the actor or
character of the literary work. It helps
the audience to know about the
storyline or to define the ending of
the story.
Dramatic irony in Othello, by
William Shakespeare


In this story, Othello considers Logo as an
honest person while he plots against him.
Othello has put all his faith in Logo. He is
unaware of the reality of Logo. But the
reader or audience knows the real fact
that Logo has been deceiving Othello that
he does not know.
