What is an example of an oxymoron in 'Much Ado about Nothing'?

Answer 1

There are similes all through out the play. Some examples are:

My bounty as boundless as the sea

Scaring the ladies like a crow-keeper

Too rude, too boisterous; and it pricks like thorn

It seems she hangs on the cheek of night/As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;

Like softest music to attending ears!

Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,

Without his roe, like a dried herring.

O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head, As is a winged messenger of heaven..."

Scaring the ladies like a crow-keeper

Too rude, too boisterous; and it pricks like thorn

He bears him like a portly gentleman;

Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,

Without his roe, like a dried herring.

And bring thee cords made like a tackled stair

How silver-sweet sound lover's tongues by night,/ Like softest music to attending ears!

Death lies upon her like an untimely frost.

It seems she hangs on the cheek of night / like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear.

O me! This sight of death is as a bell that warns my old age to a sepulchre."

My bounty as boundless as the sea

O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head, As is a winged messenger of heaven..."
