Question

How does Shakespeare introduce dramatic irony in the passage?

A. through the character of Sir Toby misunderstanding Malvolio's wise words
O B.
through the character of Feste the Clown reasoning that the room is fairly well-lit
O c.
through the character of Feste the Clown pretending to be an authoritative figure
O D. through the character of Malvolio failing to realize the curate's riddles

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Dramatic irony occurs in a story when the audience knows something about the actions of an actor that the characters do not know about. An example of dramatic irony in this story is;

C. Through the character of Feste the Clown pretending to be an authoritative figure

In that story, we see that Feste the clown pretended to be a priest and went to the prison where Malvolio was held to question him.

So while the audience knows that the person interviewing Malvolio was not a priest, Malvolio did not know this fact.
