There is irony in the contrast between the understated title and the extravagant style of the narrator. Ironic, too, is the mention of Farquhars belief that alls fair in love and wara belief shared by the Federal Scout who lures Farquhar to his capture and death. Verbal irony occurs in Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him (par. 2), and The liberal military code makes provision for hanging many kinds of persons, and gentlemen are not excluded (par. 3). Students may find other examples as well.
