1. Copy down the definitions below (copy what is in red):
Dramatic irony---occurs when the audience knows something the characters do not. Because of this understanding, the words of the characters take on a different meaning. This can create intense suspense or humor.
REMEMBER THE EXAMPLE OF THE SCARY MOVIE.
YouTube Explanation of Dramatic Irony (we will watch this when we are done copying everything)
In Macbeth it is achieved a great deal of the time through asides.
Aside-a remark or passage by a character in a play that is intended to be heard by the audience but unheard by the other characters in the play. (I always think: a comment to "the side")
Often times in the movie, the character looks right at the camera like he or she is talking to us.
