Another example: Mrs Bennet obsesses about finding husbands for her daughters but seemingly does everything she can to frighten away eligible young gentlemen.

Of course there's the verbal irony, for which I dearly love Mr. Bennet, but there's also so much irony in the actions of the characters and the situations they are in, like the fact that Darcy does his best to separate Jane and Bingley because Jane's background makes her an unsuitable match for a gentleman of such wealth, yet he, a man of even greater fortune, ends up with her younger sister Elizabeth!
