The instances of situational irony most likely occurred in the passage in:

The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not.
The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

Situational irony occurs when the opposite of a particular expected outcome happens.

Although the passage is incomplete, i can infer that the passage you are referring to is from The Storyteller which talks about the conversation between a young boy and his aunt about the movement of sheep to another pasture.

Situational irony is used when the boy refuses to accept his aunt's explanation and also when the boy is uninterested in the cows.

What is the history of Beowulf? Where was It written, how old Is It, and why do scholars find it to be important?

pishuonlain [190]

The story is set in Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated.

It is possibly the oldest surviving long poem in Old English and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old English literature. It was written in England some time between the 8th and the early 11th century. The author was an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet, referred to by scholars as the “Beowulf poet.”
