Romeo + Juliet

By : Adrian Nathaniel Moreno

Welcome to the Romeo+Juliet Homepage. Do you know what an oxymoron is?

Def: A figure in which an epithet of a contrary signification is added to a word. Ex: True Lies,

There's no such thing as a true lie or else it wouldn't be a lie. Well in Romeo + Juliet

there are plenty to go around. Oxymorons were used in this story to show the feelings

of Romeo and Juliet and the path chosen by fate for them. For example they use the term

"O' Brawling Love" This term was used to show the love Romeo and Juliet felt for each other & the brawling part shows the fued between their families the Capulets and Montagues.
