When the boys discovered they were by themselves, they viewed Coral island as a place that would promise them fun, adventure, and give them peace and traquility.
However, the island was just the opposite of what it came out to be. From the getgo, there were arguments of leadership, plenty of blame going around, and eventually, the breakdown of civilization. The island proved to be far from creating a utopia.
At the end when the rescue officer appeared and studied the surroundings, he made a remark saying how this wasn't like Coral Island at all. He expected Coral Island to be a place of civilization and peace, not of savagery and disorder

The irony of the dead parachutist is that the message which should have reminded the boys of the real world was mistread and strengthened their belief in the imagined world of beasts. The arrival of the parachutist in chapter 6 is the message from the world of adults which Ralph had hoped for in the previous chapter. If the boys had seen him clearly they would have been reminded that there was a whole world beyond the boundaries of their island and they might have been encouraged in their efforts to try and get rescued. Ralph's position as leader would have been enhanced and his efforts to improve their lives might have gained more support. Unfortunately the parachutist was mistaken for the beast, which turned the attention of the boys inwards towards the affairs of the island. They forgot about the outside world and the need to be rescued, which undermined Ralph's position as leader. This reinforced Jack's attempts at gaining power to the detriment of them all.

The police officers eat the leg of lamb that was used to murder Patrick Maloney, unaware of the irony that they are consuming evidence of the crime. Mary Maloney's calm demeanor and innocent appearance throughout the investigation are ironic given that she is the murderer.
