when we had a 5 min speech, we were told to aim for 900 words or around abouts.
I was gonna say just make sure you practice it so u can talk fast without stumbling, but since u havnt written it and you have 48 hours....maybe aim for 800? 750?

can i say that dramatic irony gives the audience a sense of superiority?

like the audience already knows that what this guy is doing is foolish and stupid so they look down on him

Yes, if it actually does that. A lot of the times it does, but it doesn't have to in all cases.

can i say that narrator's are seen to be omniscient so their judgement is to be trusted?

Not necessarily. You can have biased all seeing narrators. But it's probably the closest you'll get to a factual report of the stories events.
