Write a paragraph explaining how this passage is an example of DRAMATIC IRONY.
If you cannot remember the definition for dramatic irony, you can look the term up in your literature book.
Come, gentle night; come, loving, black- browed night; Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.
