Question

Read the excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O anything, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Misshapen 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.

The speaker is suggesting that love is confusing and encompasses everything all at once.
The speaker is suggesting that no one should ever fall in love

Answer 1

The speaker is suggesting that love is confusing and encompasses everything all at once.

The explanation for that choice is that by using these oxymorons Romeo is attempting to show the contradictiins caused by love. He loves Juliet even though he is supposed to hate her. He uses the oxymorons to demostrate his one emotiinal state, the confusion between what he feels and what his family wants him to feel. Romeo and Juliet are love and hate all at once.
