Signs of Confusion…

Paradox A statement that, despite sensible (or seemingly sensible) reasoning, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory. “I’m a walking paradox. No I’m not.” - Tyler the Creator

WORDPLAY: From 1600’s England, to 2000’s USA, writers love it Real G’s move in silence like lasagna. – L’il Wayne Just because I stand over you, don’t mean you understand me. – Typical Cats I got more soul than socks with holes. – MF Doom I’m not a business man: I’m a business, man. – Jay Z

1600’s England Mercutio begs the depressed Romeo to dance, but Romeo refuses, saying that unlike Mercutio’s shoes with “nimble soles,” that he (Romeo) has a “soul of lead.” When the still-depressed Romeo asks for a torch, he says “being heavy, I will bear the light.” Later, the fatally-stabbed Mercutio, says that “tomorrow … you shall find me a grave man.” Peter Quince sees Bottom with the ass-head on: “Bless thee, Bottom, bless thee! Though art translated.” Bottom reacts to the terrified mechanicals: “I see their knavery: this is to make an ass of me, to fright me if they could.” This is an example of a pun and of dramatic irony.

Fair is foul and foul is fair. – The Witches in Macbeth Fair = sunny (weather); blond (hair); beautiful (looks, often of a place or woman); according to the rules +/or moral (ethics); in play (games, e.g. baseball. Foul = stormy/rainy/foggy/snowy (weather); ugly (looks); breaking the rules or immoral or criminal (ethics, law); out of play (games, e.g. baseball

One more thing… “Fair is foul and foul is fair” is also a word palindrome (though not a letter palindrome).
