Answer:

"A scratch, a scratch," Mercutio says  of his wound before dying. - <u>Verbal irony</u>

Capulet thinks Juliet cries for Tybalt;  we know she cries for Romeo .- <u>Dramatic irony.</u>

Romeo goes to a ball to see Rosaline  but falls in love with Juliet.- <u>Situational irony.</u>

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Ju liet</em>, the story of how the two forbidden lovers were led to their deaths as a result of their 'illegal' love. Though unaware of their families when they first fell in love, their undying love and devotion to one another made them chose death over their separation.

In the story, the various forms of irony are as follows-

Mercutio's description of his wound that proved fatal is an example of <em><u>verbal irony</u></em>. This happens <em>when what a person says is contrary to what is meant. </em>

Capulet thinks Ju liet is crying for Tybalt when we as readers know it is not so and that she's crying for Romeo is an example of <em><u>dramatic irony</u></em>. This irony is when the <em>readers know more about the given scene which the characters are unaware of. </em>

Romeo attending the party at the Capulet's place in the hope to see his love Rosalind but ended up falling in love with Ju liet is an example of <u><em>situational irony</em></u>. This occurs when the <em>outcome of any act of the characters turn out to be contrary to the expected outcome of the storyline.</em>
