• 'O brawling love! O loving hate!' - A1S1

  The oxymoron expresses Romeo's inner turmoil. The contradictory words show that love and hate can simultaneously exist. By emphasising the coexistence of love and hate, it emphasises Romeo's ambivalent emotions.
• A2S2 - 'But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun... It is my lady, O it is my love! O, that she knew she were!' This shows the consolidation and conformation of Romeo's love for Juliet, and his feelings have seemingly intensified since they first met.
