Huck's choice to help Jim escape to freedom contradicts the beliefs and norms that he has been taught, showcasing the hypocrisy and flawed values of the society he comes from.

The irony in "The Gift of the Magi" can be understood after reading just a few paragraphs, as it is revealed early on that both Della and Jim are making sacrifices to buy gifts for each other that end up being rendered useless due to the gifts' recipients' own actions. This contrast between their sacrifices and the futility of their gifts creates the dramatic irony that is central to the story.
