Re: Dramatic Irony
isn't that thinking literally rather than visually? if one character knows he has cancer and tells another character, then we as the audience are learning it at the same time so it's not ironic.
but,
if one character learns from his doctor that he has cancer then goes to meet the other character for lunch and lashes out at his friend, then that's ironic because the other character doesn't yet know his friend has cancer; and, we saw the first guy with his doctor and learned it first.
anyway, my understanding, YMMV.
