A paradox is an apparent contradiction that reveals a truth. The witches end the first scene with a paradox: "Fair is foul, and fouls is fair". Explain the ways in which this contradiction is shown to be true in Act I. (use evidence)

The phrase "Fair is foul, and fouls is fair" is spoken by the three witches present in the play written by Shakespeare, Macbeth. This sentence is part of the prophecy that the witches give to Macbeth and means that winning and losing depends on the perspective of MAcbeth, he can achieve victory in a fair way, but in a failed way, which makes the victory unpleasant and unfair.

As we know Macbeth manages to take the throne, which was a great desire of his heart, for him it seemed that the crown was just, but in his heart, he knew that his victory was granted by flawed, murderous and terrible methods, which haunted for a long time. However, if he had continued with his normal course, without killing the king and usurping his throne, he would have a life that would seem flawed, but it would be fair.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
