The irony in "2BR02B" is that in a world where population control is enforced to the extreme, the protagonist struggles to find someone willing to give up their life so his child can live.

It's ironic that when Mercutio teases Romeo about being in love with Rosaline, Romeo is really in love with Juliet. It's ironic that the Friar advises Romeo to "love moderately" as he is about to perform the very sudden marriage between the passionate young people. Friar Laurence points out an irony as he gathers herbs: used correctly, poisonous herbs can cure disease, and vice-versa.
