Which situation is an example of dramatic irony from the play antigone? the gods bury polyneices. polyneices and eteocles kill one another. a woman buries polyneices. the guard arrests antigone.

A woman buries Polyneices.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers of a story know more than what the characters in the story. The characters may not have a full knowledge of what is really happening in the story but the readers or audiences are aware of it.

The tragedy play "Antigone" by Sophocles tell the story of how Antigone had to be killed. The protagonist of the story Antigone chose her family over the law of the land, which eventually led to her own death. A case of dramatic irony can be seen in the scene where a woman buried Plyneices was discovered by the guards. They did not know if Antigone had really did the act but we, as readers privy to the actions of all the characters, know that she had done it.

i think it's either 'to expose the corruption of the communists in russia', or 'to criticize animal brutality by communists in russia.'  

hope this ! : )
