    Noor Saket Prof. Abid Vali ENGL 355 11 Jan. 2017 Contradictory Actions and Knowledge in Beyoncé’s “Denial” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German writer and statesman, elucidates the power of contradictions in the life of human beings: “what we agree with leaves us inactive, but contradiction makes us productive” (Goethe). On the one hand, agreement and contradiction are mental processes, while on the other hand, inactivity and productivity, usually, are physical ones. This mental-physical connection is what Beyoncé’s “Denial” revolves around: how physical violence is the product of mental instability, which is embodied by her lack of knowledge with regard to her husband’s possible infidelity. For that reason, Beyoncé resorts to physical contradictory…

The song includes a section of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists”, in which she talks about the differences in the social structure of a woman's and a man's life.
