What is it called when the audience know something the characters don't?

Sagot :

Dramatic irony is when the audience are aware of something, but the characters don't. For example, In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Duncan is talking about how Macbeth is so great. We know that Macbeth is actually planning to kill Duncan, but Duncan himself doesn't know this.
