The existence of paradoxical literature can be traced back to the birth of literature. However, there are works and instances in which paradox explodes and it is almost impossible to pass them. Virginia Woolfâs âThe Death of the Mothâ is a paradoxical piece of such, and her analysis would obviously overflow the particulars of limits or descriptions of inventory.

The relationship between poverty and education is widely acknowledged to be bidirectional. Poor individuals frequently lack access to adequate education, and those who do not have access to adequate education are often forced to live in poverty.

Poverty has numerous characteristics and is not solely defined by income or expenditure levels. Amartya Sen's (1999, 2001) work has widened our understanding of poverty by characterizing it...
