DRAMATICALIRONY
MRS MALAPROP TELLING LYDIA HOW NICE
CAPTAIN ABSOLUTE IS IN COMPARISON TO THE DREADFUL ENSEIGN
BEVERLEY AFTER LYDIA HAS DISCOVERED THAT THEY ARE ONE AND THE
SAME PERSON.
One situation that might apppear
at «THE RIVALS» could be the one which follows:
IN A HORROR MOVIE , SUSPENSE IS OFTEN BUILT UP BY THE USE OF
SPOOKY MUSIC. THE V IEWERS OFTEN KNOW THAT
SOMEONE IS GO ING TO D IE OR GET R IPPED UP.
BECAUSE OF THE MUS IC THAT THEY CAN HEAR- - AND, OF COURSE , THE
CHARACTERS CANNOT .
BECAUSE THE VIEWERS KNOW SOMETHING THE
CHARACTERS DO NOT , THIS IS DRAMATIC IRONY.
A FURTHER EXAMPLE
A SIMILAR EXAMPLE IS WHEN THE MAIN
CHARACTER IS BEING CHASED BY A KILLER AND
WE KNOW THAT THE KILLER IS HIDING IN THE
CLOSET BUT THE CHARACTER DOES NOT
KNOW THAT.
