One example of irony in "The Scarlet Ibis" is when Doodle is given his bird-like name, but ultimately proves his strength and determination like the ibis. Another example is how the brother teaches Doodle to walk only to later feel regret for pushing him too hard. These instances demonstrate the contrast between expectations and outcomes in the story which adds depth to the themes of pride and regret.
