Irony in The Lady or the Tiger

Posted on October 12th, 2011 in Final Project by Brittney

TS: The irony was that the princess’ decision for her lover hurt her either way.
CD: The princess had to chose death or marriage to another woman for her lover.
CM: This is because the king didnt think of his daughters happiness before making the decision to send her lover to the arena.
CM: This leads up to the princess’ showing how much she loves the young man for if she did she would want him to be happy.
CS: As a result, the princess’ decision was a difficult one for her because it would have a negative effect on her.

Irony in The Gift of the Magi

Posted on October 12th, 2011 in Final Project by Brittney

TS: Its ironic that the couple gave up something special for gifts and ended up not being able to use either gift.

CD: For instance, Jim bought the combs with the money from the watch and Della bought the fob with the money from her hair.

CM: Giving up the possessions that they took pride in shows great love for one another.

CM: Jim is a good husband for not being mad at Della for cutting her hair.

CS: The couple proved their love for each other during this Christmas because they overcame this irony.
