Question:
What do you think of the story "The Gift of the Magi"?
Answer:
It is a great short story by O.Henry and is considered as a classic in English literature.
Explanation:
The story is a classic example of irony in literature. Irony is a literary technique in which expectations about what will happen differ greatly from actual results. In this case, Jim and Della sacrifice their most valuable possessions so that the other party can fully enjoy the gift. Jim sells her watch and buys Dela's combs and expects her to be able to use them. Della sold her hair and bought her watch chain for Jim. Neither expects others to make this sacrifice.
The irony here works at both a practical level and a deeper sentimental level. Both Della and Jim eventually buy each other gifts that look financially stupid. Being poor, they can't afford to waste money on what they can't spend. But what they get is what they don't expect. It's a pretty intangible gift that reminds us how much they love each other and is willing to make sacrifices to make each other happy.
