When the family sits in the car the narrator reveals that the grandmother wears touches of lace and purple clothing so that, “In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady” (O’Connor 471). This demonstrates the strange ideas that go through the grandmother’s mind and paints a picture of what she imagines her death to be like. However, the irony stems from the true setting of her death where “…the grandmother…half sat and half lay in a puddle of blood” (O’Connor 481). The dramatic irony – proposed by the setting of her imagined death versus actual death – demonstrates how detached the grandmother is from reality. Specifically, she pictures her death to be glorious, with people surrounding her to identify her; she gives no thought to the fact that her family would be affected in this situation as well.
