ironic?

So as I was reviewing Frankenstein I was thinking about the part in the middle of the book when Victor and the monster meet again. I think that there is a slight irony in this. Both victor and the monster are coming off a time where they are learning great deals about themselves. But what is ironic is that Victor is escaping from people to nature to acquire this peace and self fulfillment, and the monster is learning this serenity from people, and wanting people to find the peace. It is also ironic that the monster is learning "unity" or "togetherness" form these cottagers that have been exiled.
