Question

In “The Gift of the Magi," which idea does the author most emphasize by the use of irony? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Outcome

Explanation:

Henry uses situational irony to emphasize the unexpected outcome of the story. Clearly, Della cannot make use of the decorative combs in her very short hair, and Jim lacks the watch he has sold. He has no need for the expensive chain his wife has purchased with the sale of her long locks.
