Question

PLEASE HELP



In this excerpt from act I of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which figure of speech does Romeo use repeatedly to describe how he feels about Rosaline?

ROMEO: Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?

A. oxymoron

B. allusion

C. simile

D. metaphor

E. pun

Answer 1

I believe it is A because there are a lot of oxymorons

Answer 2

The answer is A: oxymoron

 The figure of speech used repeatedly by Romeo to describe how he feels about Rosaline is onymoron. Oxymoron is the figure of speech that the writers use to create a dramatic effect, by putting together opposite elements (adjective and noun) that will make a point or reveal a hidden truth. It is used in literature and casual conversations. ('loving hate'; 'heavy lightness'; 'cold fire'; 'sick health' etc.)
