Part C Dramatic irony occurs when the reader is aware of something that one or more characters in a narrative know nothing
about. Often, dramatic irony involves an outcome or meaning of an event. This situation can create humor or suspense
for the reader. Give an example of dramatic irony in chapter 3 of A Christmas Carol, and explain the impact of this
dramatic irony on the story.

The following excerpt from the novel shows dramatic irony

"A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man, whatever he is!" said Scrooge’s nephew. "He wouldn’t take it from me, but may he have it, nevertheless. Uncle Scrooge!"

Uncle Scrooge had imperceptibly become so joyful and light of heart, that he would have pledged the unconscious company in return, and thanked them in an inaudible speech, if the Ghost had given him time.

When Scrooge's nephew, Fred, raises a toast in honor of his uncle, he is unaware that Scrooge is actually listening to his speech. In Fred's speech, he wishes his uncle a merry Christmas. But he believes that if his uncle were present, he wouldn’t accept those greetings from him. In reality, Scrooge is overwhelmed with joy at Fred’s words. Scrooge even forgets that his nephew and others at the party cannot see or hear him.
