Read the excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.
Tybalt: Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries 40
That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw
Romeo: I do protest I never injur'd thee,
But love thee better than thou canst devise,
Till thou shalt know the reason of my love:
And so, good Capulet, which name I tender 45
As dearly as my own, be satisfied.
Why is this an example of dramatic irony?
a. because Tybalt is usually a peace-loving character
b. because Romeo does not really feel kindness toward Tybalt
c. because Tybalt is unaware that Romeo has married a Capulet
d. because the audience is relieved to know that a dual will not occur
