What are some ways in which Hawthorne uses irony in the novel?

The first and biggest example of irony is Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale is supposed to be the most righteous in the community, yet he has broken many laws just by practicing adultery.

Another example is the Puritan society as a whole, as the Puritan leaders live a life of luxury, while they preach a life of simple living.

Mistress Hibbins is also very ironic as the only thing she talks about is the devil, when she is the leader of the society.
