Hyberbole

a satire is the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

an allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning,

and a paradox is a statement that seems contradictory or absurd but is actually valid or true.
