Irony in the context of tragedy enhances the dramatic effect. Ambiguity in regard to the characters and the plot leaves the audience open to interpretation. Was Hamlet truly mad? Was the ghost really King Hamlet or was it a “goblin damned”(I‚ iv‚ 44)? I believe that Shakespeare used irony to heighten the tragic effect of the play‚ increase the

I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. I had seen him many times on tv and in pictures. However‚ seeing him in person gave off a sense of wonderment. Knowing what he had put me through also drove me angry. These two emotions fought within me and I could walk anymore. My mom‚ who was still holding me‚ tried pushing me forward.

Dr. Spock paced back and forth muttering to himself like a madman‚ pulling at his hair in his frenzied haste. “I just don’t understand‚ it doesn’t make any sense‚” he muttered‚ desperately gazing at the wall before him‚ covered with documents interconnected with a web of red strings.
