DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARADOX, ANTITHESIS AND OXYMORON: PARADOX: Apparently self-contradictory statement, the underlying meaning of which is revealed only by careful scrutiny. The purpose of a paradox is to arrest attention and provoke fresh thought. Examples: “Less is more” is an example.“ "I can resist everything except temptation.” “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” "If I know one thing, it's that I know nothing." "This is the beginning of the end." "Deep down, you're really shallow." ANTITHESIS: An antithesis is a figure of speech that juxtaposes two contrasting ideas. Unlike paradoxes, antitheses focus on the opposition of the opposing ideas. Neil Armstrong’s statement when he stepped on the moon in 1969 is a good example of an antithesis: “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The pairing of the small steps and giant steps accentuates the significance of the event-but there is no contradiction between the two ideas. Examples: “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” "Man proposes, God disposes." "Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing." "To err is human; to forgive divine." "Many are called, but few are chosen." OXYMORON: An oxymoron is the conjunction of two words with meanings that contradict each other. While a paradox is the opposition of ideas or themes, an oxymoron is a contradiction merely between words. An example of oxymoron in literature can be found in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In the balcony scene, Juliet exclaims that Romeo’s departure is “sweet sorrow.” Examples: "alone together" "climb down" "bittersweet" "grow smaller" "same difference" "small crowd" "seriously funny" "virtual reality"

Hi mam In this poem you told rough and smooth as antithesis but in life poem you have told youth and age as oxymoron. Conjunction vandhadhala adhu antithesis nu sonenga. Can u kindly tell the difference between antithesis and oxymoron?
It's not antithesis. Antithesis na 2 contrasting ideas which seems like it would happen. Oxymoron is just 2 contrasting words without conjunction Contrast is 2 different words joined by conjunction

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARADOX, ANTITHESIS AND OXYMORON:
PARADOX: Apparently self-contradictory statement, the underlying meaning of which is revealed only by careful scrutiny. The purpose of a paradox is to arrest attention and provoke fresh thought.
Examples:
“Less is more” is an example.“
"I can resist everything except temptation.”
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
"If I know one thing, it's that I know nothing."
"This is the beginning of the end."
"Deep down, you're really shallow."
ANTITHESIS: An antithesis is a figure of speech that juxtaposes two contrasting ideas. Unlike paradoxes, antitheses focus on the opposition of the opposing ideas. Neil Armstrong’s statement when he stepped on the moon in 1969 is a good example of an antithesis: “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The pairing of the small steps and giant steps accentuates the significance of the event-but there is no contradiction between the two ideas.

“That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
"Man proposes, God disposes."

"To err is human; to forgive divine."
"Many are called, but few are chosen."
OXYMORON: An oxymoron is the conjunction of two words with meanings that contradict each other.

Hi mam
In this poem you told rough and smooth as antithesis but in life poem you have told youth and age as oxymoron.
Conjunction vandhadhala adhu antithesis nu sonenga. Can u kindly tell the difference between antithesis and oxymoron?
Same doubt.. pls clarify mam
Same doubt for me as well
It's not antithesis. Antithesis na 2 contrasting ideas which seems like it would happen.
Oxymoron is just 2 contrasting words without conjunction
Contrast is 2 different words joined by conjunction
So rough and smooth is contrast
Seeming still, yet still in motion - paradox
Paradox is two contrast ideas where it may seem like it would not happen
Inga seeming still nu solranga, but river epd orae edatha nikka mudiyum?
Hence it's a paradox
