Scene:

Jessica stands before the mirror, fixing her hair while her best friend, Mark, leans against the wall, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Jessica: "I can’t wait to show Eric my new dress tonight. He’s going to love it!"

Mark: (chuckles) "Yeah, he’ll definitely have something to say."

Jessica: (beaming) "I just hope he likes me as much as I like him!"

Mark: "Oh, Jessica, he already calls you 'the dress' to his friends."

Explanation of Dramatic Irony: The dramatic irony in this scene lies in Jessica's belief that Eric might be interested in her because of her new dress, while the audience knows that Eric actually refers to her in a demeaning way as "the dress," indicating he sees her more as an object of attraction than a person of genuine interest. This disconnect creates tension and humor, as the audience is aware of Eric’s true feelings, heightening the emotional stakes for Jessica.
