used to challenge conventional thinking, express philosophical
observations, or criticize something.

Here are some examples of paradoxes:


"Less is more": A paradox that's often used in the arts and other fields

ironic truth
"The swiftest traveler is he that goes afoot": A paradox by Thoreau

SATIRE
Satire is a type of humor that uses irony, mockery, and ridicule to criticize or make fun of people,
institutions, or society as a whole. It is often intended to provoke thought and discussion about
serious topics, and can be used to expose hypocrisy, vice, or corruption in a humorous way.
Satire is often found in literature, theater, film, and other forms of art.

One example of satire is the novel "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, which is a critique of
the social conditions in Ireland in the late 1700s. Swift proposes a solution to the poverty and
famine that were prevalent at the time, suggesting that the Irish should sell their children as food
to the wealthy.
Another example of satire is the film "The Dictator" by Sasha Baron Cohen, which uses humor to
mock contemporary politics, leaders, and societal issues.

object, or event, represents a deeper meaning or a broader concept beyond its

nuanced way.

Example:
In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the green light at the end of Daisy's
dock symbolizes Gatsby's hope and dreams for a future with Daisy. The light itself
is just a distant glow, but it represents Gatsby's unattainable desires and his
longing for the past.
