The correct way to identify dramatic irony in a text is by noticing when they know something the character does not. In dramatic irony, the audience has knowledge about a situation that the character is unaware of, creating a contrast between the character's understanding and the reality known to the reader or viewer. This can lead to emotional responses, such as suspense or humor, as the audience anticipates the character's reaction when they eventually discover the truth.
