"Readers know something about a situation that the character does not know."
(Dramatic irony occurs when the audience or reader has information the characters lack. For contrast: an unhappy ending is a tragic outcome, the events turning out opposite of expectations is situational irony, and a character saying the opposite of what they mean is verbal irony.)
