1. The first example of irony is when even though Santiago only came home with the carcas of the marlin, the people in his town still thought he was a hero.
2. The second example of irony in this book is that even though the tug of war between him and the fish was hurting him very badly by digging into his skin and cutting his hands, he still continued to fight. Most people would have quit right at the start. Even though he was old, he had the strength to keep pulling.
