Does this express irony??

“Happiness is important. Fun is everything. And yet I kept sitting there saying to myself, I'm not happy, I'm not happy."

THANKYOU.

Answer 1

Not so much.  If you need a quote, this one smacks of irony:

"A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man’s mind."

This is ironic because Beatty is being sarcastic; it is the opposite of what he believes.  If you need to provide supporting evidence, he says:

“Knowledge is power.”  (what he truly believes)

Hope this example helps!

Answer 2

Irony would be a stretch... it's more of a contradiction rather than irony.
