Read the excerpt from Act II, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.
Friar Laurence: These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
What do the oxymoron and paradox in this excerpt illustrate about love?
Only love has the ability to overcome obstacles. Nothing good ever comes from truly loving another. Loving with restraint is the key to long-lasting love. True love causes one to lose the ability to reason.
