Tituba's prayer is an example of dramatic irony because she prays to God only to show off to the people.
EXPLANATION:
- Dramatic irony occurs in a play when the audience knows the situation in the play and understands it, but the character doesn't understand the same.
- The words and the actions of the characters are often contradictory in this case.
- Tituba is a woman from Barbados who does black magic and she prays to God just to show to the people about her believes in God and is on God's side.
- But she was the one who did black magic, planned the dance in the forest and conjured the bad souls.
- Thus, her act is an example of dramatic irony.
