Answer 2

The situational irony which occurs in “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati is that the colomber pursues Stefano in order to give him a magic pearl.

Stefano gave up his dream of becoming a sea captain to ensure that he will live a long life after seeing the Colomber.

Tthe Colomber was believed to be a harbinger of Death and that whoever sees it will be doomed for life.

Nevertheless, the reason why the Colomber was after Stefano was that it was tasked to give Stefano a pearl that would grant him good luck and success in life.  And the irony  lies on the fact that Stefano feared the Colomber was false and baseless.
