The irony of Max Adey
Max Adey denotes masculinity which attracts female's attention. Both Amabel and Julia Wray are beautiful girls, and they are all interested in Max.

The title irony of the title 'Party Going.'

The irony of teenagers
The rich teenagers described in 'Party Going' belong to the golden age generation. Astonishingly, the rich teenagers are more concerned about the cancellation of their party, while the rest of the nation is worried about the possible war which is looming to occur. The reader finds it satirical that the teenagers are not concerned about their future because they only concentrate on the present.
The irony of discontentment
The characters in 'Party Going' are depicted as rich kids who have everything they need in this world. For instance, they have enough money to cross borders to get the entertainment they need. Ironically, the reader realizes that these teenagers are not satisfied with life despite all their riches. For instance, they find the railway hotel boring simply because they think nothing is pleasing. On the contrary, the hotel has all the amenities and facilities to make them happy and engaged. Therefore, the reader realizes that wealth is not the absolute solution to happiness.
