Understanding Dramatic Irony
It’s a trick as old as Ancient Greek theater and if used effectively builds tension and empathy. It is used in both Oedipus and Disney's Beauty & the Beast and Sopranos and Mad Men. So, what is dramatic irony? Is it a tool or a way of telling the story, is it an end or a means to an end?
On Second Chances: ENOUGH SAID

The essence of human relationships in the movie are expressed in a nuanced way through hiding the intentions and dilemma with the words left unsaid. For any auteur this is an Art worth mastering.
