How is this ending an example of dramatic irony?

Answer 1

When Philip K. introduces the element of dramatic irony, it leaves the feeling of discontent. There wasn't a happy ending to this story because we know what might happen next. They wasn't exactly an ending because we know that there is self-repairing gadgets. The crew thought the gun was destroyed. The narration switches focus to the gun to inform the reader and not the characters. This evokes fear and uneasiness in the reader. The destructive weapon will soon regenerate itself, and will attack the crew when they return.

Answer 2

The ending of the story allows the events to remain open-ended. The crew leaves the planet hoping to come back, believing that the gun has been destroyed. Only the reader knows that a small army of self-repairing gadgets and an atomic warhead are moving toward the gun. Dramatic irony occurs when the reader has more knowledge about a particular outcome than the characters. So, in “The Gun,” the reader knows that the gun will repair itself, but the characters flying away are unaware of this information. This ending evokes a mood of fear and suspense as the reader realizes that the weapon of destruction will regenerate itself and will most likely strike the crew and others once they return to the planet.
