Soliloquy and Figures of Speech in Romeo and Juliet, Part 4

Question 1 • EN091 Freshman English A

Which is an example of an oxymoron?

Answer
A
“well-seeming”
B
“cold fire”
C
“Dost thou not laugh?”

Explanation

An oxymoron combines two words with contradictory or sharply contrasting meanings. “Cold fire” joins “cold” and “fire,” which normally suggests heat, creating that contradiction. “Well-seeming” and “Dost thou not laugh?” do not combine opposing ideas.
