Notes on verbal and dramatic irony

Verbal irony--the effect achieved when a speaker says that opposite of what he or she means
example:Antony uses verbal irony, calling Brutus and Cassius "honorable men" to incite the mob.
Dramatic irony--the effect achieved when the audience has information that a character(s) doesn't have.
example:The reader knows that Cassius sent the letters to Brutus, but Brutus believes that they are from Roman citizens
