Answer 4

The title of Great Gatsby itself is ironic. It is evident that Gatsby is not great, especially since he bootlegs his money. However, in comparison to the Buchanans he is great. This is apparent at the end when he shows integrity and courage and takes the blame for Daisy.

The most obvious irony in the novel is Daisy's character. Because of Gatsby's obsession and devotion to her, you would assume that the love of his life would be a charming and genuine. On the contrary, she is selfish and escapes blame through her social standing and wealth.
