Answer:

Situational Irony

Step-by-step explanation:

Situational irony occurs when incongruity appears between expectations of something to happen, and what actually happens instead. Charlie expected to become like other people, but he is as isolated as when his intelligence was limited. He expected to be like other people, but was actually still isolated.
