What is Situational irony in tom sawyer?
Well see tom sawyer himself is situational for the fact being he belives the books he reads are reality but in actuality there fiction. Also most readers would expect that when they are trying to help jim escape that they would lighten the load on themselves but no tom has to make everything harder to meet requirments that are left for him in the books. Also Tom knows Jim is already free but the reader thinks the main reason is the fact that he wanted to free jim but in actuality he is freeing a free man.
