In the story of an hour the thing that mrs mallard feels approaching her is described as creeping and as something that will possess her why are these words ironic?

The irony is in the words "creeping" and "possess her", there is no way she would be possessed by being crept on.

The use of "creeping" and "possess" to describe the approaching feeling is ironic because it implies a sense of foreboding or unease, yet Mrs. Mallard's eventual reaction to this feeling is liberation and joy upon realizing she is free from her oppressive marriage. The language suggests a negative force taking over her, but in fact, it leads to her newfound sense of freedom and self-identity.
