Carmody's daughter Eileen. Carmody, a widower, called the doctor in earlier, when Eileen fainted.

Using what you know from reading the play, revise the introduction to add dramatic irony. Then, explain in one or two sentences how your revision added dramatic irony.

The Straw, a play by Eugene O'Neill, unfolds in a factory town in Connecticut around 1910. In a twist of dramatic irony, Bill Carmody anxiously awaits the completion of Doctor nor's examination of his daughter Eileen, unaware that her fainting spell reveals a deeper secret that will ultimately upend their lives.

By emphasizing Bill Carmody's unawareness of the impending reveal, the revised introduction adds dramatic irony. It creates a sense of tension and anticipation for the audience who knows more about Eileen's condition and the potential consequences of her fainting spell than Bill does. This contrast between what the characters know and what the audience knows heightens the dramatic impact of the story.
