A Paradox is when a statement or proposition is very unreasonable but when investigated it may prove to be true.
“Fair is foul, foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air.” This is a paradox because fair can’t be foul and foul can’t be fair as they are two completely different things. However when investigated someone (Macbeth) could be both as he is about to commit treason but has been a loyal soldier.

This is the best explanation I’ve read so far. Nice.
