Dramatic irony in the world of Edu 3217.

There were several dramatic irony(s) went I learned the play “Oedipus Rex”. I would say that Dramatic irony? (s) Was one the ways to captured viewer attention. How it could capture viewers’ attention? It was quiet easy. By looked at the words come out from the characters and their actions were different in meaning. It made all the viewers to think more and showed them that they have more knowledge from the actors itself. For example, in the play “Oedipus Rex”, we viewers could saw how Oedipus said things ironically. He kept saying that who were my parents? At the beginning of the play itself he told his citizen that he knows everything. At this moment, viewers already know that Oedipus’s parent was Jocasta and king Laois and there were things that he doesn’t know. This was how dramatic irony worked in the play or dramas. It helped to make them more interesting plus it could add up more knowledge for the viewers as they thought they knew everything in the plays or dramas. With this dramatic irony, It made the audiences smarter than the actors in the plays.
I learn all of this in Edu 3217 which somehow makes me feel smarter compared to others. From this course I knew that human does not realized that sometimes things happened without their attentions to do it or they simply do it in order to cover the things that they do not know. They seem to pretend that they knew everything so that people or others would respect them. Same goes with Oedipus the king. From here I would say that this course teaching the language of dramas would help me to be myself no matter what happen in my life…
