- "Hide your wives and daughters," I know that the author isn't really afraid that there will be a second attack from the Europeans that makes it unsafe to have the wives and the daughters out.
- "Great nations of Europe," I know that the author doesn't think that the nations are great because they annihilated indigenous tribes. Also, he is making fun of the fact that they are referred to as "great nations."
- The Indians who told Balboa they were gay. He is using a satirical and sarcastic tone that hint the irony. He has no way of knowing whether they were gay, he just says that to make the listener know that the Europeans would kill on based on insignificant facts.
Not Ironic:
- The time period, 16th century. This is actually the time when they came to the Americas
- "Columbus sailed for India..." He did actually sail for India and find Salvador. These are the facts that the composer must maintain in order for the audience to understand the message that he is trying to transmit.
