Answer:
1. a contradiction
2. irony
3. a subtlety
Explanation:
A paradox refers to a statement that seems reasonable but whose conclusion is unacceptable, absurd and contradictory.
Irony occurs when it is meant the opposite of what is being said. In fact, dramatic irony has to do with the different information the audience or readers and the characters possess.
Finally, foreshadowing is the clues or hints that the author gives regarding how the story will continue. Thus, those indications can be subtle when there are indirect and suggestive indications that may lead the audience to predict future events.
