A verse is generally considered to be a single line in a metrical composition, e.g. poetry.

However, the use of "verse" has come to represent any division or grouping of words in
such a composition, which traditionally had been referred to as a stanza. The words
"verse" and "poetry" are sometimes used synonymously, though verse usually indicates
the use of rhythm and meter, with the exception of the free verse form
Prose is writing that resembles everyday speech. The word "prose" is derived from the
Latin prosa, which literally translates to "straightforward". Prose is an unpretentious form
of writing; it is adopted for the discussion of facts and topical news. Prose is often
articulated in free form writing style. Thus, it may be used for books, newspapers,
magazines, encyclopedias, broadcast media, films, letters, history, philosophy, biography,
linguistic geography, and many other forms of communication.
Prose generally lacks the formal structure of meter or rhyme that is often found in poetry.
Although some works of prose may happen to contain traces of metrical structure or
versification, a conscious blend of the two forms of literature is known as a prose poem.
Similarly, poetry with less of the common rules and limitations of verse is known as free
verse. Poetry is considered to be artificially developed ("The best words in the best
order"), whereas prose is thought to be less constructed and more reflective of ordinary
speech.[citation needed] Pierre de Ronsard, the French poet, said that his training as a poet had
proved to him that prose and poetry were mortal enemies. In Molire's play Le Bourgeois
Gentilhomme, Monsieur Jourdain asks something to be written in neither verse nor prose.
A philosophy master says to him, "Sir, there is no other way to express oneself than with
prose or verse". Jourdain replies, "By my faith! For more than forty years I have been
speaking prose without knowing anything about it, and I am much obliged to you for
having taught me that."
Irony
Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance
between what one says or does, and what one means or what is generally understood.
In modern usage, it can refer to incongruity between the intended meaning of an action
and the actual or perceived meaning of an action.
There is some argument about what is ironic, but all the different senses of irony revolve
around the perceived notion of an incongruity between what is said and what is meant; or
between an understanding of reality, or an expectation of a reality, and what actually
happens
Dramatic Irony

Dramatic irony

In drama, the device of giving the spectator an item of information that at least one of the
characters in the narrative is unaware of (at least consciously), thus of placing the
spectator a step ahead of at least one of the characters. Dramatic irony involves three
stages: installation, exploitation and resolution.
For example:

In City Lights, we know that Charlie Chaplin's character is not a millionaire, but
the blind flower girl (Virginia Cherill) does not.
In Cyrano de Bergerac, we know that Cyrano loves Roxane and that he is the real
author of the letters that Christian is writing to the young woman; Roxane is
unaware of this.
In North by Northwest, we know that Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is not Kaplan;
Vandamm (James Mason) and his acolytes do not. We also know that Kaplan is a
fictitious agent invented by the CIA; Roger and Vandamm do not.
In Oedipus the King, we know that Oedipus himself is the murderer that he is
seeking; Oedipus, Creon and Jocasta do not.
In Othello, we know that Desdemona has been faithful to Othello, but he doesn't.
We also know that Iago is pulling the strings, a fact hidden from Othello,
Desdemona, Cassio and Roderigo.
In Pygmalion, we know that Eliza is a woman of the street; Higgins's family does
not

basically u wanna focus on the structure of the book/poems etc..tlk bout the writer's
strengths n weakness...mention the themes, the use of the figurative language n the tone
of the writer...as it relates to drama..tlk abt the use of language stage convention (stage
direction, props, time,setting, the use of flashback and music) n how it enhances the play
and how the writer effectively conveys his messages to the readers/audiences
