Question
read the excerpt from act iv, scene ii of romeo and juliet.
capulet: now, afore god! this reverend holy friar,
all our whole city is much bound to him.
juliet: nurse, will you go with me into my closet,
to help me sort such needful ornaments
as you think fit to furnish me to - morrow?
lady capulet: no, not till thursday; there is time
enough.
capulet: go, nurse, go with her. well to church to - morrow. exeunt juliet and nurse
this is an example of dramatic irony because the audience knows that
capulet is not prepared for the wedding festivities.
the nurse is unwilling to help juliet with her dress.
juliet does not intend to follow through with the wedding.
lady capulet does not approve of the match to paris.
Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters do not. In this case, the audience knows that Juliet has already taken the friar's potion and is not actually going to marry Paris. She is only pretending to go along with the wedding plans to avoid her parents' anger. Capulet, Lady Capulet, and the Nurse are unaware of Juliet's true intentions.
