1. Paradox is a statement in which a seeming contradiction may reveal an unexpected truth.

Instance of the same is: The more I gain speed, the farther I feel lost.

2. Antithesis means something in direct contrast. It is the direct or exact opposite of something.

Instance of the same is: Joy is the antithesis of sorrow.

Instance of the same is: In Xanadu did Kubla Khan, A stately pleasure dome decree 

4. When a series of statements or ideas in an ascending order of intensity are presented, then the final statement in such a series becomes the climax.
