Imagine that King Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, has hidden himself and
overhears much of Hamlet's speech, in view of the audience but not
of Hamlet. Which answer choice identifies this type of development?
A. personification
B. wordplay
C. internal conflict
D. dramatic irony

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. dramatic irony

Explanation:

The fact that Claudius killed the King by pouring poison into his ear while he was asleep was revealed to Hamlet in the very first Act of the play. The only ones who initially know of this are Hamlet and the audience. Hamlet also knows that Claudius does not know that he knows of the murder.

Definitely dramatic irony, though i took this last year or two years so i dont remember much or personification
