Read the excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.
Tybalt: Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries
40
That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw
Romeo: I do protest I never injur'd thee,
But love thee better than thou canst devise,
Till thou shalt know the reason of my love:
And so, good Capulet, which name I tender
45
As dearly as my own, be satisfied.
a.Why is this an example of dramatic irony?
because Tybalt is usually a peace-loving character
b.because Romeo does not really feel kindness toward Tybalt
c.because Tybalt is unaware that Romeo has married a Capulet
d.because the audience is relieved to know that a dual will not occur
