This is the sixth and final episode in Ina’s series on Dramatic Irony. Dramatic irony is not just the perfect tool for making readers cry, but to make them laugh out loud, too! Especially suitable for children’s and young adult books, but also in lighter stories for adults, we’ll look at how to create the funniest scenes, using The Amulet of Samarkand as our main example.

We’ll refer a lot to the psychological model called the JohariI window in this episode, you can see a visual representation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window.

This is the fifth episode in Ina’s series on Dramatic Irony. Tragic stories can reach epic heights with a good dose of dramatic irony—this goes all the way back to Shakespeare and the ancient Greeks. Using Game of Thrones and Arcane: League of Legends as examples, we’ll look at the importance of backstory and worldview to charge a tragic scene that hits the reader hard.
