Question

In this excerpt from act 1 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

It is either A or B because simile uses like or as to describe something and he isnt doing that and it also isnt a metaphor because he isnt speaking in a way that uses one. There is no pun in it either

Answer 2

Oxymoron is the correct answer. He repeats the anaphara O's many times.
