Abstract

This study aims at clarifying the forms, shapes and methods of the paradox in a text that the researcher considers as full of models compatible with deeply theoretical aspects of this concept. The study was characterized by theoretical and applied perspectives, where the researcher depended on some studies that focused theoretically on this concept. The most important study was the "Encyclopedia of Critical Terminology" by D. C. Muecke (translated version), in addition to the study of Nabila Ibrahim "The Paradox (Al-Mofaraqah), which conveyed the theorization of paradox to the domain of Arab research. On the applied side, the researcher was guided by the studies of Samih Rawashdeh "Poetic Spaces" A Critical Study of the Poetry of Amal Dongul", and the study of Khalil Suleiman "The Paradox and Literature: Studies of Theory and Application". We can assert that the concept of paradox itself implies entanglement, so we can look at each paradox from several angles, where paradox may be personal, sarcastic or implied philosophical thought and alike. The difficulty of transfer a theory into application stems from that the most examples argued by Muecke are not brought examples from plays, novel, press articles and advertisement.
