  • [the moment] when the audience learns something that at least one person on screen does not know (which creates a dramatic irony). [...] Revelation puts the audience into a superior position-knowing more than someone on screen-and this translates into a feeling of participation. [...] Whenever there is a revelation of this kind to the audience, it creates an obligation for the storyteller to create a moment of recognition, when the character finds out what we already know. (Howard & Mabley, 1993, p. 69) Also see recognition
