“O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you / And in this state she gallops night by night / Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love / Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues / Which oft the angry mab with blisters plague / Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are / Then he dreams of another benefice / Sometime, she driveth o’er a soldier’s neck / And then he dreams of cutting foreign throats / Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes / And being thus frightened, swears a prayer or two / And sleeps again ... ” (1.4.53-88)

" An oxymoron is a figure of speech that is a combination of opposing terms that seem contradictory, yet work together to form expressive phrases." Oxymoron's are used in Romeo and Juliet to show the different emotions and ways of life of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo is more depressed and uses oxymoron's to show how he doesn't want anything to do with the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues but he can not ignore his parents wishes. Juliet on the other hand uses oxymoron's in a more blissful fashion, like in the balcony scene in her soliloquy she basically uses apposing words like sweet and sorrow to show her conflicting thoughts about Romeo leaving her.
'Tis almost morning; I would have thee gone: And yet no further than a wanton's bird; Who lets it hop a little from her hand, Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves, And with a silk thread plucks it back again, So loving-jealous of his liberty. (2.2 190-195)

Romeo: I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in splendor of mine own." 1.3.101-108
