Is "stabs her dead in the market place full of bright flowers" a juxtaposition?

Yes. A juxtaposition is two things being seen or placed with each other with contrasting effect. "Stabs her dead" is an unhappy and scary thing, but "the market place full of bright flowers" is a very happy scene. Those two are opposites, so yes it is a juxtaposition.
