The lottery ticket in the short story "The Lottery Ticket" by Anton Chekhov symbolizes the potential of wealth to change relationships and reveal underlying feelings of greed and envy between the husband and wife. It serves as a catalyst for the characters to confront their true values and desires. Ultimately, the ticket challenges the couple's relationship and exposes the fragility of their happiness.

The author uses irony by naming the lottery officials Mr. Summer and Mr. Graves. This naming choice juxtaposes the pleasant connotation of "Summer" with the sinister undertone of "Graves," hinting at the darker nature of the lottery process despite its seemingly lighthearted name.

Oh honey, no, they are not the same. Irony is when the opposite of what you expect happens, like rain on your wedding day. Idioms are just quirky phrases that don't mean exactly what they say, like "raining cats and dogs." So, in short, irony and idioms are as different as apples and oranges.
verbal irony had to do with words, but situational irony has to do wit events.

In Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic," the irony lies in the juxtaposition of expectations versus reality. The song presents several scenarios where the outcomes are contrary to what one would typically anticipate, such as rain on a wedding day or winning the lottery and dying the next day. These examples illustrate life's unpredictability and the absurdity of finding humor in unfortunate situations. Ultimately, the song itself has been critiqued for not always showcasing true irony, adding another layer to its ironic nature.
