Question

A paradox exists when a seemingly contradictory statement is given that, upon closer examination, reveals a compelling truth. Look over the lyrics from The Script’s song "Breakeven" and write a line that includes a paradox. Then, in your own words, summarize the paradox being discussed throughout the Edmund Spenser poem.

Answer 1

We can see a paradox in the lyrics of "Breakeven" in the line:

"Just praying to a God that I don't believe in."

What is a paradox?

• A paradox is a sentence that presents two opposing ideas that complement each other.
• The paradox intends to create a sentence that expresses the complex, confused and contradictory feelings, which has the power to express the emotions of the speaker.
• Despite seeming contradictory, the paradox presents aligned ideas, with opposing meanings that harmonize.

The question above does not show the Spenser poem to which it refers, but it is possible to say that the paradox is developed in the poem to show opposing ideas, confused emotions, doubts, and misaligned thinking.
