c. Dramatic irony

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience or reader knows something that the characters in a story do not. In this case, the fact that the son of the police chief, who is expected to uphold the law, is arrested for attempted burglary creates a situation of dramatic irony. We as the audience or reader are aware of this contradiction, while the characters in the story might not be.
