The line "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" is both a metaphor and a paradox is a False statement. It is a metaphor but not a paradox because it doesn't contradict.

Enrique Hooper · Answer 2

I think the correct answer would be false. The line "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" is not both a metaphor and a paradox. The said line is only a metaphor which compares birth to sleep and forgetting. It is not a paradox because there is no contradiction.
