Question

explain the irony of the story best seller

Answer 1

The biggest irony of the story 'Best Seller' is that the protagonist does the same thing which he considers to be happening in love stories and fiction. While talking about the best seller, 'The Rose Lady and Trevelyan', he remarks that such love stories, with people of different ranks marrying each other, happen in books only. In real life, people generally hunt up someone from their own station and rank. On the contrary, he himself, being a salesman, married a woman who belonged to high rank.

Answer 2

the irony is that at the ending of the story the narrator itself do same as the stories in the best sellers
