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 are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

In A People's History of the United States, why does Howard Zinn feel that Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War I?

"War is the health of the state," the radical writer Randolph Bourne said, in the midst of the First World War. Indeed, as the nations of Europe went to war in 1914, the governments flourished, patriotism bloomed, class struggle was stilled, and young men died in frightful numbers on the battlefields-often for a hundred yards of land, a line of trenches. -- Chapter 14, Page 350, A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn outlines his arguments for why World War I was fought in the opening paragraph of Chapter 14 (referenced above). The nationalism that was created by the Great War benefited the elite political and financial leadership of the various countries involved. Socialism, which was gaining momentum in Europe, as was class struggle, took a backseat to mobilizing for war. Zinn believes that World War I was fought for the gain of the industrial capitalists of Europe in a competition for capital and resources. He states that humanity itself was punished by t...
