is the following analogy paradox or irony
i think its analogy
1)Then, the ends of the torches were flung hissing into the water, and went out, as if it were all over with him
it's not an analogy because torch and water are not related in fact they are the opposite therefore i think it is probably a paradox
The statement you provided does not contain either a paradox or irony. It appears to be a description of a situation where torches are extinguished by being thrown into water. This is not an analogy, but rather a literal event being described.
To identify if a statement contains an analogy, you should look for a comparison between two different things that have some similarities but are not identical. Analogies are often used to explain complex concepts by comparing them to something more familiar. In the statement you provided, there is no such comparison being made.
Paradox refers to a statement that seems self-contradictory or goes against common sense, while irony is a contrast between what is expected or intended and what actually occurs. Neither paradox nor irony is present in the statement you provided.
