Do you know what an oxymoron is?

daniel519:

no

Ultrilliam:

A oxymoron is a statement that contradicts itself. Shadow give them a example I can't think of a good one >///<

Shadow:

Basically it's a figure of speech in which contradicting words are present. Example: The room is bright with darkness. A tall dwarf crossed the bridge. The weak are strong.

Shadow:

"A contradicting statement" is more accurate though.

Shadow:

Basically this assignment wants you to find lines in this excerpt that have contradicting statements.

Which lines in this excerpt from act I of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet foreshadow Romeo’s fate? TYBALT: This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave Come hither, cover'd with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, To strike him dead, I hold it not a sin. CAPULET: Why, how now, kinsman! wherefore storm you so? TYBALT: Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe, A villain that is hither come in spite, To scorn at our solemnity this night. CAPULET: Young Romeo is it? TYBALT: 'Tis he, that villain Romeo. CAPULET: Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone; He bears him like a portly gentleman; And, to say truth, Verona brags of him To be a virtuous and well-govern'd youth:
