There are many ironic things in The Great Gatsby.
- Gatsby spends all his time and most of life pursuing something which is not worth the effort.
-The Car could be seen as a symbol of hope and dream of American Dream so is ironic that symbol of hope and dream ultimately lead to Gatsby's death.
-The American Dream based on money getting you happiness, yet Gatsby is extremely rich but not satisfied.
-The American Dream supposed to be about whatever race, class etc. you come from you have equal opportunity to succeed and happiness, yet there is an obvious dislike between east egg ( old money) and west egg (new money).

Gatsby describes Jordan Baker as fundamentally dishonest and accuses her of lacking integrity, which stands in stark contrast to his own shady dealings and lies throughout the novel. This irony highlights the theme of deception and illusion running through Gatsby's character and actions.
