In the story of “Gift of the Magi”, I noticed two of different themes. They were: “irony” and “loves conqueres all”.
In my opinion the whole story is ironic. We have the wife, Della, that shaves her head and sells all of her hair to buy her loving husband his Christmas present. Now the husband, Jim, who sells his watch to buy his wife her Christmas present. Keep in mind that they are both poor, unwealthy people; that's why they sold their belongings. Now when it's time to open their presents, Della's is ironically a set of combs. When Jim opened his present, it was a chain for his watch. Ironic, no?
Now in all reality this story came out to be a love/ironic story. Even after she was completely bald, not a hair on her head, he still loved her. Even though he sold his watch, she wasn't mad. (Maybe because both of their situations kind of evened out.) Either way, love conqueres all.
