O. Henry uses Evidence for C1: parallel structure in 'The Gift of the Magi' to build irony between Jim and Della. Both characters sell their most valuable possessions to buy gifts for each other. Evidence for C2: Della sells her long, beautiful hair to buy Jim a platinum chain for his watch. At the same time, without knowing what Della is doing, Evidence for C2: Jim sells his gold watch to buy Della combs for her hair.
The parallel structure creates irony because Evidence for C3: each gift becomes useless. Evidence for C3: Della's combs cannot be used because she has no hair. Jim's chain cannot be used because he sold his watch. O. Henry shows that 'the magi were wise men — wonderfully wise men' and that Jim and Della are also wise because they gave up what they valued most for each other.
The story's structure makes the ending ironic because the reader expects the gifts to bring joy but instead they can't be used. However, Evidence for C4: the love between Jim and Della is what really matters.
