About 100 word responses EXAMPLE: Question:How does Shakespeare use dramatic irony in Hamlet to build tension and develop character? Response:Shakespeare uses dramatic irony in Hamlet to heighten tension and deepen the audience’s understanding of character motivations. One key example is when Claudius prays alone in Act III, Scene iii, confessing his guilt for murdering King Hamlet. The audience knows this, but Hamlet—who enters during the scene—does not hear the confession and chooses not to kill Claudius, believing he is praying. This moment of dramatic irony intensifies the suspense and reveals Hamlet’s obsession with moral justification, while also emphasizing the tragic consequences of misjudgment and delay.
