. "Audience superior position is a term in literary theory to describe when the audience of a narrative work knows more than one or more characters in the narrative work. An example in film might be when the audience knows the killer is hiding in the closet while the protagonist does not. Another example of audience superior position is the use of dramatic irony. For instance, the audience may know Oedipus is headed for a tragic ending before Oedipus himself does. Audience superior may also be used for foreshadowing or dramatic tension. The audience is aware there is a shark in the film Jaws long before the protagonists accept this fact."@en . . . . "813408332"^^ . "Audience superior position"@en . . . .
