The irony in "The Prioress's Tale" in "The Canterbury Tales" lies in the contrast between the Prioress's supposed purity and compassion as a religious figure and the violent revenge sought by the child martyr. Despite her Christian values, the Prioress takes pleasure in a vengeful tale, highlighting the hypocrisy in her character. Additionally, the tale's focus on anti-Semitism goes against the Christian principles of love and forgiveness.
