"Antithesis in Romeo and Juliet"
             Antithesis is used to create maximum contrast. In "Romeo and Juliet",
             Shakespeare uses antithesis constantly. People can be both caring and cruel, and love is

             Friar Laurence's plan for temporarily killing Juliet had antithesis, it was both
             healing and deadly. It would heal Juliet and Romeo's love by making everyone think that

             Romeo's cousin, Mercutio. Mercutio was badly wounded and died. This angered Romeo
