The end of the poem is ironic because it shows that the pirate caused his death, thinking he was being benefited.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- "The Inchcape Rock" shows a bell that was placed on a rock, to prevent ships from sinking when hitting that rock.
- This is because it was not possible to see the rock when it was raining.
- However, a pirate named Sir Ralph The Rover looted the sinking ships, but after the bell, the ships stopped sinking, which harmed his business.
- So the pirate decided to cut the bell from the rock and thought he was benefiting.
- However, on a stormy day, he could not see the rock and ended up hitting her ship, which caused him to sink and die.
In this case, the resolution of the poem is ironic, because the pirate caused harm to himself, thinking he was causing a benefit.
