Definition:
A paradox in literature refers to the use of concepts or ideas that are contradictory to one another, yet, when placed together hold significant value on several levels. The uniqueness of paradoxes lies in the fact that a deeper level of meaning and significance is not revealed at first glance, but when it does crystallize, it provides astonishing insight.
Example:
High walls make not a palace; full coffers make not a king.
why these are important
?
so is this like an oxymoron?
Example: This sentence is false.
This is a paradox
Everyone is unique… just like everyone else.
Oh! I got it! Thanks 🙂
so would this be a paradox?
Everyone is special except me therefore I am the only special
