Pg. 19: A guy can dream can’t he?

In Amazing Spider-Man #1, Peter Parker fantasizes about a life of crime in order to help his sick aunt. Spoiler alert! Peter feels responsible for the death of his Uncle Ben. Since our hero has no sick aunt or dead uncle to feel guilty over, he indulges in a 12-13 year old’s coolest fantasy. For my English students out there, this is an example of dramatic irony! Can you see it?
