No, this is not an example of irony. It is classified as a coincidence. Too many people confuse irony and coincidence. Do yourself a favor and the true definitions of each. Educating yourself concerning the differences will hopefully allow you to understand and speak intelligently concerning these two misunderstood figures of speech.

George Orwell attended Eton College, a prestigious private school known for educating the British elite, yet he became a prominent socialist writer who critiqued class privilege and authority. The irony lies in the contradiction between his personal background and his political beliefs, highlighting the complexities of social class and individual values.
