Climax (Act Three of The Crucible)

female students using a computerNow that you have learned about the use of irony in drama, you will have the chance to analyze The Crucible and find five new examples of verbal, situational, or dramatic irony. You may refer to Acts One, Two, and Three. For each example, you must be able to identify the character, provide the quotation from the text, and explain how it is ironic.

After you have identified your five examples of irony, create electronic flashcards to share with your peers. You can use an online or mobile application flashcard generator or presentation software. The front of your flashcard should list the character's name and the quote. The back of the flashcard should identify the type of irony and the explanation. Below is an example:
