An oxymoron is contradicting words (deafening silence, jumbo shrimp, etc), a paradox is contradicting ideas (I must be cruel to be kind)

Answer:

A paradox is the opposition of ideas or themes, an oxymoron is a contradiction merely between words

Explanation:

An oxymoron is composed up of two or more words that oppose. The words "Wise fool", "Warm freezer", "Deafening silence" are examples of an oxymoron.

A paradox is a statement that is seems contradictory to common sense but could be true. Paradox examples: "Save money by spending it", "if I know one thing, it's that I know nothing", "this is the beginning of the end", "deep down, you're really shallow."

Hope this helps :)

What is Roderick’s unusual affliction? What is Madeline’s affliction?
Gre4nikov [31]

It may be inferred that Roderick's unusual affliction is Fear. See the explanation of this below.

<h3>Who is Roderick Usher?</h3>

One of Poe's character doppelgangers, Roderick is one of the two remaining Usher family members in "The Fall of the House of Usher." While Madeline, Roderick's sickly and bedridden twin sister, is an intelligent and bookish person.

<h3>How did Roderick Die?</h3>

The conclusion that Roderick dies of dread may be inferred from the closing scene.

He collapses to the ground like a corpse as Madeline races toward him, too afraid to continue living.

It's even conceivable that Madeline is only a physical representation of Roderick's concerns.

<h3>What is Madeline’s affliction?</h3>

Roderick claims that Madeline has a cataleptic condition, which has gradually reduced her mobility.

The narrator observes his sister passing through a faraway area of the home while Roderick describes his sister's ailment.
