Question 12 • SS - TX-English II B

Which situation is an example of dramatic irony from the play Antigone?

Answer
A
The gods bury Polyneices.
B
Polyneices and Eteocles kill one another.
C
A woman buries Polyneices.
D
The guard arrests Antigone.

Explanation

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that a character does not. Creon believes Polyneices has been buried by someone else, but the audience learns that Antigone—a woman—has done it. The other choices describe events without that same contrast in what the audience and a character know.
