The paradox of Tiffany’s biological father
The narrator's biological father is a paradoxical character because he intentionally neglects his parental responsibilities. After Tiffany's mother becomes insane, she is sent to live with her grandmother instead of having her father as a role model in her life. Sardonically, the narrator's biological father remarries, and the stepmother does little to show love to Tiffany.
The irony of school bullying
Tiffany's school environment was not easy because fellow students abused her and bullied her. For instance, students told Tiffany that she smelt like onions, which was intimidating. Ironically, the bullied and underrated student ended up the most famous comedian and actress. Consequently, Tiffany lived to fulfil her purpose in life.
The satire of fame
Tiffany worked very hard to become successful in her career throughout her life. When the right time came, Tiffany emerged successful and very famous. Ironically, the fame was overwhelming, and Tiffany found it hard to tame it. The satire in this context is that Tiffany worked hard to be famous, and when she became popular, she started struggling with how to tame her fame.
The irony of love and marriage
Love is complex and unique. When Tiffany married her ex-police lover, she was looking forward to a blissful future full of joy. Ironically, love is not all about happiness but misery, heartbreaks and divorce. After five years of marriage, Tiffany realized that her husband was controlling and did not give her the chance to advance in her career. Therefore, Tiffany decided to divorce her husband.
