French term or phrase: ironie tragique
Bonjour, j'étudie une scène de Roméo et Juliette de Shakespeare, et j'ai besoin du mot spécifique qui correspond à "ironie tragique" pour parler des "indices" que sèment Shakespeare pour le spectateur, annonçant la mort future de Roméo et Juliette. Par exemple, lorsque Juliette dit "O God, I have an ill-divining soul!" Merci de votre aide
