Dramatic irony is where the reader knows something happening, going to happen that the characters in the book don't know. Since the book is written as a narrative, it's kind of impossible to have dramatic irony.

"Dramatic irony" in "The Stranger" by Albert Camus refers to situations where readers know more about a character's circumstances or motivations than the character themselves. An example is when readers are aware of Meursault's indifference to his own mother's death, while the other characters in the novel are shocked by his lack of emotion. This creates tension and enhances the sense of detachment and absurdity present throughout the story.

The ending is also ironic because in the beginning Daru says he won't turn in the Arab to the police but that does happen although it's ultimately the Arab's choice to do so.
