From the story "The Importance of Being Earnest", what is ironic about miss prism's expressing concern for Jack and admiration for his devotion to his brother is her pretenses of not knowing the truth that Jack had a real brother.

Dramatic irony is used in this story because the audience already have the idea about Jack's family and somehow know the concluding part of the story.
