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 :)

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The analysis of the deeper message is:

An object is personified and nature provided her the ability to become an individual.

How does jekyll describe utterson? Why does he call him a 'pendant'? How does this link into victorian beliefs about science?
koban [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Jekyll has great affection and admiration for Utterson and for that reason describes him in a positive way. He claims that Utterson is a dedicated man and that he represents Victorian society, because he is very integral and committed to the norm and good customs, but this is something representative, like a pendant, because Utterson knows about the sinister and negative experiences of Jekyll, who promote many problems and who are not out of morals and good manners, but he pretends he does not know anything and does not denounce Jekyll. This can also be linked to the Victorian view of science, as the population supported the science that promoted good, but ignored the problems that could be happening.
