Literary Devices in Romeo and Juliet, Part 5

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

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 meanings. “Cold” and “fire” seem to conflict because fire is normally hot, so “cold fire” is the oxymoron. “Well-seeming” is not a clear contradiction, and “Dost thou not laugh?” is a question.
