The answer to your question would be that a statement in a story that seems contradictory but actually presents a deeper truth is the following one: Paradox. That is, your answer would be C.

A paradox is a statement that appears to be self-contradictory, but which might include a latent truth. Usually, it is used to make the reader think in an innovative way. For instance, take the sentence "I am nobody". The speaker is claiming that is nobody, but at the same time just because he/she is saying that, he is somebody. He/she is the speaker utttering that statement.

Vlad1618 [11]

The exciting force is an incident that starts a struggle. In the case of Hamlet (1601), this struggle is first introduced by Claudius.

The play starts when the ghost of Hamlet's father shows up in Denmark and talks with Hamlet. <u>He tells his son that he has been murdered by Hamlet's uncle, Claudius, who has inherited the throne after marrying Queen Gertrude.</u> Before leaving, the ghost orders Prince Hamlet to avenge his death by killing Claudius. In that way, the exciting force that starts the conflict is caused by Claudius, who, driven by an ambition for power, murders King Hamlet and becomes the enemy of the main character of the play.
