i think it is when the cobra enters the room.
In Mona Gardner's "The Dinner Party," irony is employed through the contrast between the expectations of the guests and the reality of the situation. The men at the dinner party assume that the woman is overly emotional and incapable of handling a crisis, while she remains calm and composed in the face of danger. Ultimately, it is revealed that she is the one who recognizes the presence of a snake, showcasing her strength and awareness, thus subverting the stereotypes held by the men. This situational irony highlights themes of gender roles and the underestimation of women.
