In "The Drunkard" by Frank O'Connor, the antagonist can be seen as the father who is depicted as the oppressive figure in the story. He is characterized by his drunkenness and abusive behavior, which creates conflict and tension within the family dynamic.
The irony in "The Drunkard" by Frank O'Connor lies in the reveal that the father, who lectures his son about the dangers of drinking, is actually a closet alcoholic himself. This contradiction between his words and actions adds depth to the story and highlights the complexities of human behavior.
