How Does Eden Use Dramatic Irony In The Program

Dramatic irony is in speeches or a situation of drama and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the characters in the play. For instance when Judge Danforth and Elizabeth Proctor were talking; Danforth: "We are given to understand that at one time you dismissed your servant, Abigail Williams...Why did you dismiss Abigail Williams?" Elizabeth:"She dissatisfied me; And my husband" (Act IV). This quotes shows dramatic irony when Elizabeth lies to protect Johns reputation, but what she does not know is that John himself has already confessed to adultery. Thus both of their reputations are damaged, John’s for adultery and Elizabeths for

Imagine trying to always have your emotions hidden in order to keep your memories intact. The Program is a science fiction novel written by Suzanne Young. It is set in the future and is about how an epidemic of suicidal teens spreads across the globe. Over time, this epidemic gets so terrible, that the government develops a program to prevent suicide. This program erases most of the nostalgic memories of the people that go there. In this novel, a resilient girl named Sloane Barstow is the protagonist.

In the reading “Some Lines for a Younger Brother”, the writer brought back her memories of what she remembered from her younger brother. Sue started with the details of when her youngest brother was born. She proceded to talk about how it impacted her family and brother when her father passed away in a car accident. Her family had to move to the Manzanar Relocation Center. When the writer started talking about moving to the relocation center she started bringing in more details, this was also a main point and very big part of the reading.

The most obvious use of dramatic irony is in the prologue. The chorus summarizes the entire play in a fourteen line

Yelling “oh great!” after failing a test demonstrates one example. Someone wouldn’t really be happy about that; the irony is being overly positive about a negative occurrence. When the author writes, “you’re a game hunter not a philosopher, who cares how the jaguar feels” (Connell 18), and when Rainsford becomes the “Jaguar” later it is a little ironic. Connell wanted us to think about how a jaguar feels, and why they would be talking about that. When it came to the part in the story where he was being hunted, the readers think back to where the jaguar is mentioned and might think how that was ironic. The author was effective at showing irony. Another example of irony is, “ ‘...you’ll have a cocktail, Mr. Rainsford,’ he suggested” (Connell 22). He wanted the audience to think about how General Zaroff was being overly nice to a stranger he just met, but then, all of a sudden, changed into a psychopath, a murderer who hunts people for fun. The author made the reader believe Zaroff was generous and kind, and Rainsford probably believed it too. Zaroff acted this way to get Rainsford’s trust, so he could set him free and hunt him

Many authors use irony as a way of questioning the reader or emphasizing a central idea. A literary device, such as irony, can only be made simple with the help of examples. Irony can help a reader to better understand certain parts of a novel. F. Scott Fitzgerald helps the reader to recognize and understand his use of irony by giving key examples throughout The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald uses Gatsby’s lush parties, Myrtle’s death, Gatsby’s death, and the title of the novel to demonstrate how irony plays a key role in the development of the plot.

Irony is a useful device for giving stories many unexpected twists and turns. In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," irony is used as an effective literary device.

"Irony is a device that protects him (the artist) from the pain of his experience so that he may use it objectively in his art(Susquehanna. "New Critical")." In The Glass Menagerie, it is ironic how Tom speaks badly of his father and his leaving home but in the end he leaves home just like his father, the man "in love with long distances (Williams 30)''. The fact that Amanda wants what is best for her children is ironic because she worries so much over it that she doesn't realize what is best for them.

“ They only meant to scare him. When one “ accident” leads to another, people begin to die. Susan a student from Del Norte high must face the awful truth: One of them is the killer.” In the novel Killing Mr. Griffin, the author delineates a story about five teenagers who are peer pressured by each other which leads to a series of horrendous events.

Including irony/ dramatic irony is one way Roald Dahl created the element of suspense in his story. Dramatic irony relies on having the reader gaining or having missing information. An example from the story is the fact that the readers know that Mary is the killer in this story. The fact that the readers know that Mary is the killer of her husband really gives you this feeling of suspense on what can happen next. Dramatic irony is also that the readers know an object or a weapon of some sort is used by one character that the other characters don't know about. The weapon Mary is the killer of  her husband Patrick with is a fairly large lamb chop. Mary wanted to smack her husband as soon as he leaves the house, but in fact killed him.  She went to make dinner anyways. This would be considered dramatic irony because the readers know the weapon, but the police don't know.

In dramatic Irony, occurs when the readers are aware about what is going to happen, but the characters do not have any clue about what is going on. In “The Black Cat”, the story begins with the main character sentenced to death, but with one story to tell. The Irony here is that he was not aware about how his life was going to change. In the beginning he is describing how happy was his childhood and how much he loved his pets. In the second paragraph of the story the main character describes his personality as a child in the first sentence “From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition. My tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of my companions” (3). He was a lovely child with an uncertain future. Another irony finds it on the story is how he describes the fidelity and love that the man can own “There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man” (3-4). When the story is progressing he is transforming to a violent man without any act of compassion towards his faithful pet, which actually represented faithfulness. He is represented himself as a child with a lovely personality, but he is not aware that the lovely child was going to transform in an alcoholic man with a violent personality willing to kill mercilessly.

In the book, The Program by Suzanne Young, the main character, Sloane, changed over the course of the book due to the many trials she had to face.

She uses it to show us how each party feels, without making it too obvious at the same time. She uses ironic situations in order to let us know what is going on with her characters feelings, emotions, actions, and their past experiences. Without it, the stories she writes would be drastically different, and if I may be so bold to say, quite dull. But fortunately for all of us, she uses irony very, very well throughout all of her stories, especially this one, "The Storm." It's tied in so well that it aids us to see that this is not a storm of just thunder or lightning, but of lust and

A reoccurring theme in the play Macbeth is the use of ironic events. Irony is an unexpected occurrence that takes the audience by surprise and generally means the opposite of what is expected.

Unexpected incidents throughout the plot occur in scenes involving the witches’ prophecies, Macbeth’s crimes committed to become king, and the back-and-forth changes in the mindset of Lady Macbeth.
