28. Dynamic Character Example Both men are Dynamic Characters: “Death and damnation to you, Ulrich von Gradwitz."

40. Irony Example "So you're not killed, as you ought to be, but you're caught, anyway," he cried; "caught fast. Ho, what a jest, Ulrich von Gradwitz snared in his stolen forest. There's real justice for you!“ And he laughed again, mockingly and savagely. "I'm caught in my own forest-land," retorted Ulrich.
