In 300 words or less, identify the three types of dramatic irony and give at least one example of each.

The three types of Irony are verbal Irony, situational Irony, and dramatic irony. In verbal irony a character uses words to mean something different from what they actually said. For example in Hamlet he uses verbal Irony when talking to Polonius whwn he told hin to not let his daughter walk under the sun. Situational Irony involves a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. An example would be if a guy bought a gun to protect himself but the same gun is by someone else to injure him. Dramatic Irony is when the audience is aware of something that the characters in the story are not. The most famous example is Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet where Romeo thinks she is dead. However we know that Juliet is not dead but Romeo does not know that. In conclusion those are the three types of Irony and their Examples.
