Let’s Begin…
You’re in a movie theater, watching the new horror flick. The audience knows something that the main character does not. The audience sees the character's actions are not in his best interest. What's that feeling -- the one that makes you want to shout at the screen? Christopher Warner identifies this storytelling device as dramatic irony.
See the information about Jaws in the Dig Deeper section. Do you think dramatic irony helped make this movie a success?
