This question is about "Time Enough at Last"

Answer:

The irony is that Bemis was always wishing that there was no one to hinder him from reading.

Explanation:

Henry Bemis is an avid reader, but besides not having much time to read, he is interrupted all the time which hinders his reading. He hates this and has a strong desire to be alone and with plenty of time to read in peace. The ironic is his wish happens and an H-bomb hits his city killing all the inhabitants, except him who was protected by the building where he was.

when he finds himself alone in the world, Henry Bemis is desperate and tries to find a way to die.

timama [110]

The sentence in the above excerpt from "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway which is an example of irony is:

“You are a fortunate young man.”

The story talks about the wounds which the war has given to them, apart from the physical pains. The wounded soldiers wanted to erase the ills and effects which the world war has given to the world. In the above excerpt, it is ironical that the doctor calls the football player 'a fortunate man' after his leg broke off.
