What is an example of dramatic irony in

An example of dramatic irony is in the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. In this play, the audience is aware of certain information that the characters are not. For example, the audience knows that Juliet is not actually dead when Romeo believes she is, leading to his suicide. This contrast between what the audience knows and what the characters know creates a sense of dramatic irony and tragedy.
