The audience knows of the twist in the story while Oedipus does not.
Use the paragraph to answer the question.
In the Greek myth of Oedipus, the protagonist leaves his home because it was foretold that he would kill his father and marry his mother. He did not want to do that, so he flees. However, he does not know that he was adopted, and so he was no danger to the man he knew as his father. Later in the story, he actually does kill his biological father and marry his biological mother. He does not know who they are at the time, but the audience is aware.
Which describes the dramatic irony in the paragraph?
