Best Answer

In Graham Greene's 'The Destructors,' irony is used. Although Trevor doesn't dislike or hate 'Old Misery,' yet he is still destroying his house. Metaphors are also prevalent throughout the story. For example, 'Old Misery' represents England prior to the war. The gang represents the New England. The destruction of the house, represents the devastation of the war, that had destroyed just about everything England had once possessed.
