Explanation:
A Remarkable Rocket" is a short story by Oscar Wilde, known for its satirical elements and irony. The irony in the story lies in the character of the rocket himself. The rocket believes he is extraordinary and destined for greatness, considering himself superior to other fireworks. However, throughout the story, he never gets the chance to be set off and only ends up as a discarded, unused firework.
The irony is that the character who boasts about his remarkable qualities never fulfills his purpose, while other seemingly ordinary fireworks get to shine and fulfill their roles. It satirizes the theme of self-importance and arrogance, showcasing how those who proclaim themselves as remarkable may end up achieving very little in reality.
