The statement from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that is an example of irony is: "I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father and let on to be better'n what HE is.”

Irony is a figure of speech that is used when the opposite of what is meant is said. It is a form of contradictory statement.

  • The statement above demonstrates irony because, on one hand, the father advises his son to leave school and in the same breath, he talks about learning people to teach a boy how to grow some airs over his father.

  • We can thus see that there is a measure of contradiction in these lines.
