Answer 2

An example of irony in "The Pit and the Pendulum" is the fact that despite all the characters best efforts to save himself he fails because the enemy is there to thwart them. Just as man cannot save himself but needs God's mercy, through Jesus Christ, salvation comes via an outside savior when the character is at his lowest and most helpless state.
