Dramatic Irony

Dramatic irony is often used in horror and comedy films. Dramatic irony is when the reader/viewer knows something that a character in the story does not. It's often used to create humor, suspense, or conflict.

Little Red Riding Hood
|
Little Red Riding Hood is a perfect example of dramatic irony because the reader (or viewer) knows something that the character does not. As much as we want to warn this naive girl about the dangers lurking in her grandmother's house, all we can do is sit back and watch and hope for the best. |
