Juliet finds out that Romeo has killed Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin: “Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical! / Dove-feathered raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!”(3.2.75-76). Juliet compares Romeo to a tyrant, angel, raven, and a lamb and is saying how much she loves him but hates him for what he has done at the same time. The Nurse bad mouth talks about Romeo, and Juliet gets extremely defensive: “He was not born to shame. / Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit…” (3.2.91-92). The use of paradox illustrates Juliet’s adoration for Romeo and that he can not be ashamed of anything. Shakespeare uses juxtapositions and paradoxes to show that Juliet has a few moments of doubt, but in the end, she makes the decision that Romeo is her ideal
