What literary device is this passage to be using?
Portent
Dramatic irony
Flashback
Epithet

Respuesta :

The right answer is B Dramatic irony. This literary device is defined as when the reader’s understanding of events exceeds what the characters in the text can get. An audience’s mindfulness of the situation in which a work’s characters exist differs substantially from that of the characters. In the excerpt Penelope is talking about a dream in which the suitors are killed and we can see the irony.
