Answer:

  • happy dagger
  • timeless end

Explanation:

Oxymoron was a feature commonly used in classical rhetoric, which consists of the association of two contradictory terms of meaning. From this antagonistic combination - most recurrent in the context of Literature - several expressive / literary effects are obtained, leading the reader to seek a metaphorical meaning.

Based on this, we can conclude that the expressions "happy dagger" and "timeless end" are the oxymoron present in the excerpt. This is because the word "dagger" refers to pain and suffering and not happiness; so "happy dagger" are two antagonistic words. Similarly, "timeless" is a word that means eternal, something that has no end; in this way, we can see that the term "timeless end" establishes a relation of antagonism.

The correct answers are B. Happy dagger and E. Timeless end

Explanation:

In literature, an oxymoron refers to a literary and rhetorical device in which two or more words with contradictory or opposite meanings are placed together in order to create a complex concept or show the paradox of some situation. Additionally to this, in the case of Shakespeare works including "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet" it is common to find combinations of two words or phrases that include oxymoron.

This can be seen in the excerpt from Act V, scene III of "Romeo and Juliet" in the words "happy dagger", because the word "dagger" had a negative connotation and therefore linking it to the word "happy" seems contradictory, and in the words "timeless end" because the word "timeless" means eternal, but the word "end" means there is a limit of time. This means the phrases from the passage that are oxymorons are "happy dagger" and "timeless end" considering in these sentences two contradictory words are placed together which is exactly what oxymorons are about.

Why do you think pastoralism arose in the same time period as naturalism despite their different themes or approaches to literat
Amanda [17]
<span>Romantic ideals in the early to mid-nineteenth century were shattered by the Civil War. Americans grew disillusioned by the war. They didn't agree with the glorious depiction of war that romantic literature tried to capture, both during and after the war. This disillusionment led writers to take a different perspective in their literature. Literary movements such as realism, naturalism, and pastoralism were the result. While realism and naturalism embraced scientific principles, pastoralism attempted to recapture romanticism by portraying the simple life. During the post-Civil War period, some writers felt that there was a need to show that romantic literature, as a whole, was not forgotten. Pastoralism depicted the beauty of a simple life, in particular, that of a shepherd’s, in order to recapture romanticism. Plato</span>
