"you must not laugh at me darling, but it had always been a dream of mine to love someone whose name was ernest"
cecily
this is an example of verbal irony because cecily is being sarcastica about how enganement can be broken. summary is that she broke the marriage between algerdon
This is an example of dramatic irony because she believes that "ernest" is honest but we know he isnt. summary: cecily wants to marry "ernest" and we know they arent honest
These 2 quotes are dramatic irony because the lady thinks that jack is a different person when we know that "jack" is ernest. Summary is that the lady wants "ernestt" to stay over"
uncle jack would be very much annoyed if he knew you were staying on till nect week, at the same hour.
oh, i dont care about jack. i dont care to anybody in the whole world but you. i love you cecily. you will marry me, wont you?
this quote is dramatic/situational irony because cecily doesnt know that the ernest shes talking about isnt the one she is talking too and who would marry someone who barely met a few hours ago. summary is that algerdon is confused ab the engagenment
well eve since dear uncle jack confessed to us he has a younger brother... i fell in love with you, ernest
but how did we become engaged
it would hardly have been a serious engagenment if it hadnt been boken off at least once
