Dramatic Irony-- Mod 1

_______________
Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows something the characters do not. Because of this understanding, the words of the characters take on a different meaning to the audience, and give the audience a depth of understanding that the characters do not have. This can create intense suspense or humor.

Suspense is the intense feeling that an audience goes through while waiting for the outcome of certain events. It leaves the reader holding their breath and/or waiting for/wanting more.
