"Lady Capulet does not understand that Juliet is crying for Romeo."
Dramatic irony happens when the audience or reader knows something a character does not. If the audience understands Juliet's true feelings (that she is crying for Romeo) while Lady Capulet misunderstands them, the audience has information the character lacks — that gap is what creates dramatic irony.
