How does the meaning of release - and Jonas’ curiosity about it - change throughout the book? Why does it change?

Jonas is a dynamic character. He changes during the course of the novel due to his experiences and actions. ... He experiences an inner conflict because he misses his old life, his childhood, and his innocence, but he can't return to his former way of life because he has learned too much about joy, color, and love.

Explanation:

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.
