*In this excerpt from act I of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which figure of speech does Romeo use repeatedly to describe how he feels about Rosaline? ROMEO: Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.  Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create!  O heavy lightness! serious vanity!  Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!  Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,  sick health! Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!  This love feel I, that feel no love in this.  Dost thou not laugh?

The correct answer is oxymoron.


  • An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which opposite or contradictory ideas or terms are put together. For example, thunderous silence. Or in this excerpt, love and hate, brawling love, heavy lightness, serious vanity, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, etc.
  • An allusion is an implied or indirect reference.
  • A simile is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things; often introduced by like or as.
  • A metaphor is figurative language. For example, an endless night.
  • A pun is a joke usually using word play like using similar-sounding words with different meanings.

The correct answer is Oxymoron.
