DRAMATIC IRONY:irony that occurs when the meaning of the situation is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play.
EX:The ending is ironic because Ralph who is about to die should be happy when he sees the naval officer, instead he begins to cry. it is also ironic that the naval officer is shocked that these British boys lost all respect to civilization where he himself is part of the military and is involved in the war that is taking place so where is order there?
