    One of the most famous examples of irony in literature comes from The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry.

    In this story, a newly married couple decides independently to sacrifice and sell what means most to themselves in order to purchase a Christmas gift for the other.

    Unfortunately, the gifts they receive from each other are intended for the very prized possessions they both sold.

    As a result, though their sacrifices symbolize the love they have for each other, the actual gifts they receive are all but useless.
