Question
which situation is an example of dramatic irony?
cassius refers to caesar as a god but does not think he is fit to rule rome.
brutus says that he is ill when he is really just upset about the plot to kill caesar.
the audience knows all about the plot to kill caesar, but caesar himself knows nothing.
brutus knows that caesar is not the type to want to be king, but brutus joins the plot anyway
Dramatic irony occurs when the audience or reader has knowledge that a character in the story does not possess. Among the options, only the scenario where the audience knows the plot to kill Caesar but Caesar does not fits this definition. The other options involve verbal irony or character internal conflict, not dramatic irony.
