I'm currently reading the novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and I am to identify some Dramatic Irony that I could share with the rest of my reading group. So far I've identified there is a dramatic irony in the fact that Miss Brodie 'worships' everything Italian (and the characters don't realize this). But what else?? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I know some of the differences between the novel and the movie, but I just want to make sure I didn't miss any! Help please :)
"The popularity of the movie lies, in part, on Maggie Smith’s excellent performance, which would grant her an Academy Award as Best Actress that same year. Briefly comparing the novel and its adaptation, we would say that the movie’s Jean Brodie is, like the novel depicts her, a striking woman. The colours in which she dresses sharply contrast not only with the staff’s and the young girls’ grey outfits, but also with Edinburgh’s greyish ambience. She has the same flawed humanity that makes us dislike her while at the same time feel for her. Two of the Brodie girls in the novel, Mary Macgregor and Joyce Emily, are in the movie compressed into the “stupid lump” Mary. Brodie’s direct confrontation with the headmistress belongs to the movie, not to the novel. Love affairs and relationships Brodie and Teddy Lloyd, Brodie and Lowther, Sandy and Teddy Lloyd – are in the novel much more hinted than described, while in the movie they seem a little melodramatic. The director chose time linearity instead of different time frames, and the action does not evolve during several years, as happens in the novel; its constant flash-backs and flashforwards, which introduced the reader to Sandy’s important retrospective analysis, are absent in the movie."
I have seen the movie but is the book different? I f yes in what ways?
i never read the book and do love the movie . Half those girls on there are grandmothers now . One of the young ladies appeared on the dear john show as his boss. I did not know there was a book.
I tried to do research,but all I can find is information about a woman's "sexual prime." Surely, there is much more to a woman's prime age than sex. I want to know what you think a woman must feel or experience to be in her prime age.
To me, someone in their prime is when they're young, healthy, and successful and feel like they have everything they want. So I guess in their mid to late 20's.
I just read the novel a few weeks ago and now I can't find what exactly happened to Rose. I think she got married, but if anyone knows about what point in the book it mentions what happened to her that would be fantastic. Thank you!
Rose's last main function in the novel is to carry to Miss Brodie the information that Sandy has had the affair with the art master.
After this Rose leaves and makes a good marriage to a successful business man. The indication is that he is very wealthy and has various businesses. This is revealed in a visit to Sandy, now a nun.
The quote is in the last chapter, in my copy (Penguins Modern) pg 121, about 7 pages from the end. Look out for the paragraph beginning, "When she was a nun, sooner or later..."
One of my favourite quotes from the novel also illustrates Rose that "she shook off Miss Brodie's influence like a dog does pond water".
I have only just read it for the umpteenth time. The character of Jean Brodie fascinates me!
