Oxymoron and Hyperbole
Review: What's happening in Verona? In your notebook, write a Tweet about it, 1-3 sentences. Use your book. Then share with partner. Discuss and check each other's comprehension; refer back to the text. Share as a class.
Last class we defined puns; how are puns used in 1.1?
Classwork:
In the rest of the scene, we are going to focus on two literary devices you are already familiar with: hyperbole and oxymoron. Be ready to identify examples of these. Each section of the class will be assigned lines from the text; pick a character. Read aloud your lines, and note examples of hyperbole and oxymoron. Write examples in notebook, and write what it means (analysis)
- Benvolio or Montague: 120-160;
- B and Romeo: 163-202;
- B and R: 203-end.

“Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, / O anything of nothing first create! / O heavy lightness, serious vanity, / Misshapen 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” (1.1.181-187).

“Well in that hit you miss. She’ll not be hit / With Cupid’s arrow. She hath Dian’s wit, / And, in strong proof of chastity well armed / From love’s weak childish bow she lives uncharmed. / She will not stay the siege of loving terms, / Nor bide th’ecounter of assailing eyes, / Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold. / O, she is rich in beauty, only poor / That, when she dies, with beauty dies her store” (1.1. 216-224).
Literary device:

“She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow / Do I live dead, that live to tell it now” (1.1.231-232)
