Question

Irony is a contrast between what
seems appropriate or expected and
what actually happens. The knight's
quest—forced upon him by the
queen—is to find out what women
want. What irony do you see in this
punishment?

Answer 1

The irony is that the woman could have figured it out herself since she is a woman

Answer 2

• The irony here in the statement lies in the fact that women want their own sovereignty. It is ironic as they are in the trouble of denying a young woman that some self-sovereignty.
