PARADOX.

Introduction

Many times people tend to say something that is contradicting on what the other person knows

but it is true. The use of paradox leaves a lot of individuals trying to understand what the other

person meant since the statement always sound correct but it is self-contradicting and logically

unacceptable. The reader is left to think over and over in an innovative way since the declaration

sounds silly but may be true.

The paradox can be defined as a statement that sounds silly or contradictory but has some truth

in it. The statement usually contradicts the traditional ideas or believes in most of the cases. For

the reader to be able to understand the statement fully, he or she needs to rethink over and over.

The statement usually has two things that are opposite of each other that may be true. We can say

that statements that seem to say different things and yet right are the paradox.(Rappaport, p.20)

There are various sentences, proverbs and saying that are examples of paradox. Examples

of paradox in sentences or statements include: 1.One thing that i know is that i know nothing. 2.

There is always a beginning of the end.3.spend more save more.4. I am nobody.5. Wise fool. 6.

Here are the rules: ignore all rules.7. The truth is sweet but bitter among others. Some of the

paradox found in literature may include: “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than

others” in George Orwell’s Animal Farm and “I must be cruel to be kind” in the famous play of

Shakespeare.(Marton, Ference, Gloria &Lai, p.72)

Conclusion

As many people think of paradox to be provoking, they are also considered to be fun. The

paradox in poems tends to create feelings and interests in readers’ minds and make them think

deeper to enjoy the real message of the poem. It is good to encourage people to use paradox to

create fun and interest among readers and listeners.
