Question: Is this dramatic irony!?
If you've ever watched The Office, there's an episode on Valentines Day and the character named Oscar receives flowers!. Everyone in the office asks where he got them from and he says it's from his mother!. But if you've watched previous episodes, the audience knows that Oscar is actually a homosexual and that the flowers are probably from his boyfriend!. Is that dramatic irony!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

are you in grade 9!?
I had to find examples of dramatic irony in english today
if that's what you're looking for:
an example is when a man has been waiting his entire life to murder this one man, but when he finally gets the chance, someone else kills him first!.
And yes, by the way, I suppose that is dramatic irony from the office!.
It's not the best example, however!.
by the way, the people above are wrong!. dramatic irony is not that definition!. That is the definition of irony, without the dramatic part in front!. For it to be dramatic irony, there would have to be a sense of drama involved, such as death, or something serious that makes it dramatically ironic!. The guy underneath is correct!. It is more of a verbal irony situation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
No, I would consider it verbal irony because it was used as a sense of sarcasm!. In dramatic irony the speaker does not understand the irony but the audience does, but I could be wrong!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
