The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 2: Causal Relationships

Question 6 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

Which situation is an example of dramatic irony?

Answer
A
Cassius refers to Caesar as a god but does not think he is fit to rule Rome.
B
Brutus says that he is ill when he is really just upset about the plot to kill Caesar.
C
The audience knows all about the plot to kill Caesar, but Caesar himself knows nothing.
D
Brutus knows that Caesar is not the type to want to be king, but Brutus joins the plot anyway.

Explanation

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that a character does not. Here, the audience knows about the plot to kill Caesar, while Caesar is unaware of it. That makes “The audience knows all about the plot to kill Caesar, but Caesar himself knows nothing” the correct choice.
