Question

Read the excerpt from Act V, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet.

Friar Laurence: Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;
Come, go, good Juliet.—[Noise again.] I dare no longer stay.

Juliet: Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. [Exit FRIAR LAURENCE.]
What’s here? a cup, clos’d in my true love’s hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after! I will kiss thy lips;
Haply, some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make me die with a restorative. [Kisses him.]
Thy lips are warm!

First Watch: [Within.] Lead, boy: which way?

Juliet: Yea, noise? then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger! [Snatching ROMEO’S dagger.]

Answer 1

In the excerpt from 'Romeo and Juliet,' the oxymorons are 'happy dagger' and 'timeless end,' as they pair contradictory terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In the passage from Act V, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet, the phrases that are oxymorons are "happy dagger" and "timeless end."
• The phrase "true love's hand" is not an oxymoron as it conveys a sense of belonging and endearment without presenting contradictory terms.
• Similarly, "good Juliet" does not present a contradiction, as it's a term of endearment from Friar Laurence.
• "Lips are warm" also does not qualify as it is a straightforward observation that does not combine opposing ideas.

Answer 2

Oxymorons are contradictory so
happy dagger
timeless end
......
I'm pretty sure there could be more but you should re-read and look at them again based on the passage.
