Examples Of Dramatic Irony In A Doll's House

115 Words1 Page

The final clue to The Doll’s House being a modern short story is the use of dramatic irony. Throughout the story, the different social classes of the girls are extremely vital to the plot. These classes are very evident to the reader but may be less apparent to the children in the story. This is an example of dramatic irony. Another example of dramatic irony in the text is when Else says, “I seen the lamp.” At this point I think the reader has made the connection between Else and Kezia and realizes what the lamp symbolizes. However, Lil or any other character in the story probably wouldn’t understand, so that makes it dramatic irony.
