For example, the protagonist prepares meticulously for an event that turns out to have the opposite outcome of what they hoped for, leading to a dramatic twist. This type of irony emphasizes the unpredictability of life and highlights how our plans can often go awry, evoking a mixture of surprise and empathy in the reader.
