Answer 1

The sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.

Answer 2

Answer:

The sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.

Explanation:

Paradox is a figure of language that mixes opposing concepts in the same statement. In this way, paradox can be described as the expression of a logical idea by the use of opposite terms.

In the case of the passage shown in the question, the paradox was used in the expression "The sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness." because there is a contradiction in saying that something is loathsome and delicious.
