Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 13   AIL 1230 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Irony the Audience Assembles

Captions available

The idea

A third shape gives the audience pieces from several scenes that no character has together. Nobody is told anything directly; the knowledge is accumulated. This is the hardest to spot in an extract, because the extract may not contain the pieces.

In practice

Knowledge assembled across scenes.

Where people slip

An extract may not hold the pieces.
