Dramatic irony is a powerful literary device where readers know more than the characters, creating tension and anticipation. To understand what is dramatic irony in literature, classic examples provide perfect insight. In Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, the audience knows Oedipus’s tragic fate long before he does. Similarly, in Romeo and Juliet, readers are aware that Juliet isn’t truly dead, heightening the tragedy when Romeo takes his life. Shakespeare’s Macbeth also showcases dramatic irony as Duncan trusts Macbeth, unaware of his betrayal. For students exploring such techniques, BookMyEssay offers expert guidance to analyze and interpret literary irony effectively.
