The following question was asked on 30th September 2010 by one of our readers. Have you ever wondered whether something you've read or heard is ironic or not? Remember to ask us a question!
Is it ironic that...
Boo Radley is depicted in the beginning of To Kill a Mockingbird as a murderous villain living in a spooky house... but by the end we realize that he is the hero of the book, saving the kids from a murderer.
(Many students in my class can't decide if it's irony or not because many of them suspected early on that Boo might be a good guy.)
