Answer:

  Paradox.

Explanation:

  A paradox is a literary device that uses concepts or ideas that seem contradictory, they are usually hard to believe but they hold significant value on different levels.

  They can be classified into two groups within the literature; situational or rhetorical. In situational paradoxes, the character finds themselves in a situation hard to believe, while in rhetorical paradoxes, is the character who said something anomalous.
