An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms.
- "happy dagger": A dagger is a weapon associated with harm/death, while "happy" implies joy, so they contradict.
- "timeless end": "Timeless" means without end, and "end" means a conclusion, so they are contradictory.
"True love’s hand", "good Juliet", and "lips are warm" do not have contradictory terms.
