A. When the audience is aware of a discrepancy between a character's perceptionof his or her own situation and the true nature of that situation, that is dramatic irony.B. In the given example, Portia, Bassanio's newly-married wife, disguised herselfas the lawyer to take charge of the case. Portia herself and the audience know all this, but Bassanio is ignorant of it.
