Introduction:
Tragedy is a genre of literature that has been used for centuries to evoke powerful emotions and provoke deep thought in audiences. One of the key elements that often contributes to the impact of tragic works is the use of dramatic irony. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters in the story do not, leading to tension and suspense as events unfold.
In this project, we will explore the use of dramatic irony in tragedy, examining how it is employed by playwrights and authors to create a sense of foreboding and tragedy in their works. By analyzing a range of tragic texts, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of how dramatic irony can enhance the emotional impact of a story and engage audiences on a profound level.
