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.)
