Question

What does the irony in these excerpts from “In Another Country” by Ernest Hemingway convey? The doctor came up to the machine where I was sitting and said: "What did you like best to do before the war? Did you practice a sport?" I said: "Yes, football." "Good," he said. "You will be able to play football again better than ever." My knee did not bend and the leg dropped straight from the knee to the ankle without a calf, and the machine was to bend the knee and make it move as riding a tricycle. . . . In the next machine was a major who had a little hand like a baby's. He winked at me when the doctor examined his hand, which was between two leather straps that bounced up and down and flapped the stiff fingers, and said: "And will I too play football, captain-doctor?" He had been a very great fencer, and before the war the greatest fencer in Italy.

Answer 1

Answer:

The irony is that he was a great footballer and his war injury was related to his leg. He could not play  foot ball after the injury and was not fit enough to go to was either.

One injury took away two passions of his life, although the doctor tried to be as polite and positive as he could possibly, but the truth was stagnant could not be changed.

Thanks
