Question
in act iii, scene 2, when juliet finds out that romeo has killed her cousin tybalt, she calls romeo a fiend angelical, a damned saint, and an honorable villain. juliet’s use of oxymorons reveals that she —
likes romeo more than she hates him
loves tybalt more than she loves romeo
wishes she had never met romeo
is confused about her conflicted feelings
Oxymorons are pairs of contradictory words. Juliet’s phrases ("fiend angelical," "damned saint," "honorable villain") pair positive and negative terms to describe Romeo, which reflects her clashing emotions: she loves Romeo but is devastated and angry that he killed her cousin Tybalt. This contradiction shows she is torn and unsure how to reconcile these opposing feelings, rather than leaning fully toward love or hate, or regretting meeting him.
