irony 0- Act three scene one, Romeo tries to tell Tybalt how much he loves him but Tybalt can't understand not knowing that Romeo and Tybalt's cousin Juliet were bride and groom. In the same scene Romeo gets in trouble for both Tybalt's death and Mercutio's death when Tybalt took Mercutio's life.

Irony 1-In the latter part of Act 3, Juliet's parents and Paris constantly tell Juliet that she will marry Paris and that she needs a man so she would not be so sad, and the whole time she has her marriage with Romeo of which everyone else is clueless about.

Irony 2- Also when everyone thinks that Juliet is crying over Tybalt's death, the reader knows that the crying is for Romeo.

irony 3- In act one scene five, Romeo and Juliet dance together not knowing that the other is from their enemy's families. The reader is informed on this.

Dramatic irony occurs in fiction or drama where the reader knows more about the true state of affairs than the characters do.

When Juliet is talking to her Nurse after the ball at which she meets Romeo for the first time, she says "If he be married, my grave is like to be my wedding bed."
As an audience we know that together their fate is death, that this is what happens penultimately. Juliet means that if she cannot marry or have Romeo to herself, she will die of grief. *Ironically* we know that she will also die if she does marry him.

Romeo's first appraisal of Juliet's beauty is rich in images. Hers is a "beauty rich for use, for earth too dear!" These words contain dramatic irony since Juliet's beauty is too rich for use in the sense that it will be laid in the tomb too early.

Tybalt is introduced as an aggressive, angry young man. Romeo's presence at the ball rouses him to such anger that he calls for his sword in order to kill him. He thinks that Romeo has crashed the party in order to scorn the Capulets. Instead, Romeo, in dramatic irony, has fallen headlong in the love with Juliet, a supposed enemy of the Capulet family.

Also along a different line--
Indeed, as soon as Mercutio confronts Tybalt on Romeo’s behalf, Romeo’s fall from his pinnacle of bliss seems destined. The hope that sprung from Romeo’s marriage to Juliet is dashed in a few moments of swordplay. In a moment of profound irony, Romeo’s attempt to stand between two combatants—his act of benevolent intervention—facilitates Tybalt’s fatal thrust that kills Mercutio. Thus, Romeo’s gesture of peace results in Mercutio’s death and Romeo’s becoming ensnared in the family conflict after all.

Thats four to chose from, hopefuly this is helpful. (=
