PLEASE HELP



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 answer is A: oxymoron

 The figure of speech used repeatedly by Romeo to describe how he feels about Rosaline is onymoron. Oxymoron is the figure of speech that the writers use to create a dramatic effect, by putting together opposite elements (adjective and noun) that will make a point or reveal a hidden truth. It is used in literature and casual conversations. ('loving hate'; 'heavy lightness'; 'cold fire'; 'sick health' etc.)
