Journal 71: Hints and Foreshadowing

First of all, I think dramatic irony means that when you watch a play or movie. You know something that the main character doesn't know. Like in ghost movie, you know there will be ghost in that place, but the main character always try to go there and look. Sometimes dramatic irony can be bad or good, sometimes it becomes a surprise in the story. In the story " The Tell-Tale Heart", the reasons we know why the man is insane because he say he is not insane. It's true, because insane people always say they are not insane. It's like you see these drunk people and they keep saying :" I'm not drunk~~~, let's go to another bar". Also the clue, because he keep making things up, but the old man didn't even do anything. He keep describe how bad is the man's eye, but the old man never say anything. The man says about he is thinking to kill the old man, but he didn't make decision yet. We will know that later in the story he will do something stupid. In the beginning of the story, I already know the narrator is mad, because he talk in a very weird way, and saying he is not insane. That is how I tell.
