Two primary examples of irony for "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" are the Confederate/Union soldier, and Peyton's reunion with his wife at the end of the story.
Peyton is duped into sabotaging the Union stockade at Owl Creek Bridge by a Union soldier disguised as a Confederate soldier. This disguise is the irony: the Union soldier performs an illegal act to get Peyton, a loyal southerner to perform an illegal act.
After Peyton has seemingly escaped the hangman's noose, he travels through the forest. Everything is brighter, more vibrant. This could be the effect of his recent brush with death. Peyton doesn't seem to notice the pristine condition of his home that is at the center of the war torn Civil War South when he sees his wife. It is unclear if he is aware that the "white light" is the hangman's knot breaking his neck.
