Question

HELP PLEASE

What type of irony is this? Explain.
As the D.H.C. tells Bernard about his visit to the reservation, he reminds Bernard that his relationship with the woman was not “indecorous” and to be assured that it was “Nothing emotional, nothing longdrawn. It was all perfectly healthy and normal."

Answer 1

D.H.C's position is ironic because he describes his actions as "indecorous", meaning not improper, yet he describes his intimate relationship with a woman from the reservation as unemotionally connected and short lived which is the opposite of healthy and normal.
