Literary Devices in Romeo and Juliet, Part 5

Question 2 • Twilight Session 1 (Fall 26): Literature and Composition I_CThompson

Which is an example of a paradox?

Answer
A
“That is not what it is!”
B
“This love feel I, that feel no love in this.”
C
“Dost thou not laugh?”

Explanation

A paradox is a statement that seems self-contradictory but expresses an idea. In “This love feel I, that feel no love in this,” the speaker says they feel love while also saying they feel no love, creating that contradiction. “That is not what it is!” and “Dost thou not laugh?” do not contain the same kind of opposing ideas.
