Why is brently maddens appearance ironic at this point in the story

It was a great surprise to Louise and the readers when the character Brently Mallard reappeared near the end of the story, since he was thought to be dead throughout most of the story.

Explanation: I believe you had meant Mr. Brently Mallard from Kate Chopin's famous short story, "Story of an Hour." The big surprise outcome that hits his wife Louise Mallard and readers toward the end of the story is that he is still alive. This is because, at the beginning of the story, a false report that he had been killed in a train accident was the assumption for most of the story up until that point where Brently suddenly shows up.

the correct answer is video games and fast food.

hope this (:
