Verbal irony Please HELP!

Question

Where can I find an example that shows Verbal Irony in "The Necklace". :)!

Answer 1

The necklace turned out to be an imitation, yet it was the object of Mathilde's delight and of her despair when she lost it. Had she known it was an imitation from the beginning, she would not have enjoyed the glory and success she felt while wearing it. She would have felt like the imitation she truly was.

Hope this helps.
