A paradox can be seen when a character named Georgiana claims that danger is not a threat to her life.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
- The paradox is a figure of language that presents two opposing ideas simultaneously.
- In "The Birthmark" we can see an example of this when Georgiana states that she is willing to do anything to get rid of the birthmark, even if it is a dangerous thing.
- She claims the danger is not a threat to her life.
As we know the danger is a threat to life. Affirming that life is not threatened in the presence of danger is a paradox, as it is an idea that contradicts reality.
"The Birthmark" is a story about how a birthmark can cause instability between people and personal problems.
