Scene:

Emma paced nervously in the small coffee shop, glancing at the door every few seconds. "He said he would be here by five," she muttered to herself. "I can't believe he's late again!"

Unbeknownst to Emma, her friend Jake was already seated in the corner, watching her with a mix of amusement and concern. He thought to himself, I wonder if she’ll notice that I’m the one who convinced him to cancel.


Explanation of Dramatic Irony:

The dramatic irony in this scene arises from Emma's belief that her romantic interest is simply late, while the audience knows that Jake, who is already present, played a role in convincing that person to cancel their meeting. This creates tension and anticipation as the audience watches Emma's expectations collide with the underlying truth.
