Answer:

An oxymoron is a self-contradicting word or group of words (as in Shakespeare's line from Romeo and Juliet, "Why, then, O brawling love O loving hate"). A paradox is a statement or argument that seems to be contradictory or to go against common sense, but that is yet perhaps still true-for example, "less is more."

  • Example: Suddenly the room filled with a deafening silence.
  • The comedian was seriously funny. You are clearly confused by the situation you have found yourself in.
  • Her singing was enough to raise the living dead.
