Detailed explanation-1: -The plot of Toy Story is itself based in dramatic irony: the toys are alive, but none of the humans know this. We, the audience, know this, and the toys themselves are aware too.
Detailed explanation-2: -We know she’s an imposter, but some characters do not. In Romeo and Juliet, the title characters commit suicide because they don’t know about each other’s plans. In Othello, the title character is led to believe his wife cheated on him – but we know she didn’t.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dramatic irony is when the audience knows more than the character. It creates tension and suspense. Situational irony occurs when there is a difference between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.
Detailed explanation-4: -Verbal irony is a figure of speech in which the literal meaning of what someone is saying is different from what they really mean. For example, someone saying “Just what I needed”, after spilling coffee on their shirt on the way to an important meeting.
