Romeo and Juliet contains dramatic irony. The best example of dramatic irony in the play is in Act 5 when Romeo sees Juliet and thinks that she is dead because of the potion she took earlier that day to make her appear dead. Romeo sees this and then stabs himself and when Juliet wakes up and sees that Romeo has killed himself she then commits suicide also.
1) Irony occurs when Lord Capulet arranges for Juliet to be married to Paris because we already know that she is secretly married to Romeo 2) Irony also occurs when The Nurse finds Juliet "dead" on the morning of her wedding to Paris. This is irony because we know that Juliet is not dead, she has only taken a potion to make her appear dead 3) Irony occurs when Romeo kills himself at the end. This is irony because he kills himself thinking Juliet is dead when we know that she really isn't.
