In the short story "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson, there are many instances of irony.
The title is ironic since the idea of a lottery is to win something, in this case, the winner is stoned to death.
The opening description in paragraph one is considered ironic because it introduces the setting by describing the day as "clear and sunny" but it ends with the death of a woman.
