PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Shakespeare uses oxymoron and imagery to explain that even a small feud could end with big consequences.
Romeo's Banishment And Tybalt's Death
- Act 3, Scene 2 page 106-136
- Read by Juliet
- In this passage it tells of her sorrow for Tybalt's death and Romeo's banishment and for her cousin to be dead over her husband.
Shakespeare tells of how Juliet has lost feelings for her family but all her love is to Romeo.
In this, we see an example of an oxymoron of hateful love in loving her family but hating there choices into her marring Paris.
LINES FROM PLAY
- Juliet: Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name. When I thy three hours wife have mangled it? But wherefore, villain didst kill thy cousin. That villain cousin would have killed my husband.
There are consequences to small things like a family feud. This can be seen in the play through Shakespeare's use of oxymoron and imagery.
Conclusion
Shakespeare uses oxymoron and imagery to show Juliet's love for Romeo.
