A paradox is an event or image that appears to be in contradiction to the laws of physics; in other words, the writer is describing something that is physically impossible in order to make a point or highlight a particular situation. Water flowing uphill is a common paradox. In Robert Burn's poem, "My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose," he uses paradox to describe his loyalty, stating that he will love his sweetheart until "all the seas run dry and rocks melt with the sun." Since neither of these events are possible, he is implying that his love is neverending.

But Macbeth received another noble title, and would become king. Nevertheless, Banquo was greater, because he didn't have Macbeth's fatal flaw of raging ambition and manipulability.
