In "Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket" by Jack Finney, the irony lies in the protagonist Tom Benecke's obsession with his work and ambition, which ultimately leads him to risk his life for a piece of paper containing his important notes. While he believes that achieving success and financial security is paramount, the life-threatening situation he faces outside his apartment window forces him to reevaluate his priorities. Ultimately, he realizes that the true value lies not in his work, but in the relationships and experiences he has neglected. This stark contrast between his initial values and his newfound perspective highlights the irony of his situation.
