How could I create an illustration that would represent an example of paradox in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?

After Juliet learns that the young man with whom she's fallen in love at first sight is the son of her father's great enemy, she says, "My only love sprung from my only hate!" (1.5.152).  This is a paradox (a statement or situation that appears to be contradictory but is nonetheless true).  What she means is that she has neither loved before she saw Romeo nor hated anyone other than a Montague, and now the...

After Juliet learns that the young man with whom she's fallen in love at first sight is the son of her father's great enemy, she says, "My only love sprung from my only hate!" (1.5.152).  This is a paradox (a statement or situation that appears to be contradictory but is nonetheless true).  What she means is that she has neither loved before she saw Romeo nor hated anyone other than a Montague, and now the two -- love and hate -- have converged in one person.  You could, perhaps, draw Romeo -- one half of him looking lovable and smiling, hand extended, the other half of him looking devilish, angry and frowning, hand curled into a fist.


Juliet voices another paradox after she learns that it was Romeo who killed her cousin, Tybalt.  She asks, "Was ever book containing such vile matter / So fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell / In such a gorgeous palace!" (3.2.89-91).  She marvels that Romeo could be a murderer and yet seem so good and sweet and be so handsome.  For this, you could draw a book with a beautiful cover, and then draw the same book, open to a page that shows someone doing something terrible, like killing another person in a sword fight, as Romeo has done.  Or, you could draw Romeo looking into a mirror: the real him is handsome and happy, but his reflection is nasty and awful.

What is hyperbole in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry?

The most obvious use of hyperbole in "The Gift of the Magi" occurs when the narrator describes Della's and Jim's evaluations of their two treasures—her long, luxuriant hair and his gold watch. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not...
