The Bet (BookRags) What is the tone of the irony in "The Bet"? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 10:23 Last updated by anonymous on 04 Sep 21:04
It is situational as both characters believe that money is everything ( at the beginning). The banker who 'wins' doesn't really win the larger and more important thing in this story, whereas the 'loser' does.
