How Does Shakespeare Use Dramatic Irony In Julius Caesar

Casca thinks that the storm means that the Gods are mad or that it is a sign to the Romans about Caesar's monstrous state. This bad thunderstorm creates dramatic irony, because Casca and other characters have theories on what the storm means, but the readers already know that Shakespeare added the storm at this time because it's a sign that Caesar is on his way to die at the Capital. Another example of dramatic irony that Shakespeare uses in the play are bad omens. Also in Act I, Casca claims to see, "Against the Capitol I met a lion, / Who glaz'd upon me, and went surly by . . ." (1.2.20.21). He also claims to have seen other strange omens occur such as, 100 ghastly women huddled up, slaves running around on fire, and Owls out and about
