T

he irony in "The Jewelry
The irony in this story is verbal irony, because M. Lantin's wife knows that the jewels are real. She tells him:
"What can I do? I am so fond of jewelry. It is my only weakness. We cannot change our natures." Then she would roll the pearl necklaces around her fingers, and hold up the bright gems for her husband's admiration, gently coaxing him:"Look! are they not lovely? One would swear they were real." (de Maupassant)
The other form of irony is situational irony. When the outcome is different than expected. M. Lantin believes that the gems are false, and then discovers to his surprise that they are real.
When he marries his second wife, he expects that she will make him happy because of her virtue, the opposite happens, he is miserable.
