I don't remember much about the story, but there would certainly be irony in slaveholders acting religious and claiming to be living up to Christ's teachings about loving your neighbor, while at the same time they own slaves!. If they are cruel to the slaves, then it is even worse!. Could the situation be the inherent irony and their actions the actualized irony!? Just a guess!Www@QuestionHome@Com
