Irony:
Verbal: When Averagus leaves his wife, Dorigen, she becomes lonely and searches for entertainment by hanging out with her lady friends. When out on the town she runs into a young man, Aurelius, from her past that has been in love with her for years. Aurelius was so in love with her that we presented his love to Dorigen and she explains that her husband is away and that she will love him if he removes all the dangerous rocks from the coast which was sarcasm but he took it literally. Aurelius went to a wizard and begged him to remove the rocks so he can get her love and he did so with a cost of 1000 gold. When the rocks were removed Dorigen couldn't live up to her promise because she gave the young squire an impossible act in which he completed.
Dramatic: The dramatic irony is when her husband leaves she goes seeking for more attention as if they were never together in the first place giving the idea that she was available for the taking but in all reality we know that she is married to the knight Averagus who is away for work. This creates the conflict when the knight returns that his wife promised that she will love the young man because of the incredible fate he succeeded to do.
Situational: When the wizard demands the payment of 1000 gold from Aurelius, he attempts to pay the magician but refuses to accept the payment because the boy already suffered enough from the heartbreak of the women he loved turning him down. This plays a factor of being a situational irony because Dorigen must return to the lad and explain to him the whole situation of her relationship with her husband. Yet her husband demands her to fulfill the promise she made so her word can stay honorable but the boy denied the act and sent Dorigen back to her loving husband.
