Metamorphisis Irony

In the beginning of "the Metamorphisis" Kafka uses Foster's strategy of irony with Gregor's work chief showing up at his house when he doesnt show up at work. On page one Gregor talks about not liking the chief when he says he wants to tell him what he really feels about him. Then the chief comes all the way from work to his house to confront Gregor for only being late for work. This is like Foster's example of irony.
