- "The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness," (2.6.12).
- Opposing Forces Romeo in the Capulet's Garden with Juliet

- Opposing Forces Romeo in the Capulet's Garden with Juliet
- "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name," (2.2.36-37).
- Friar Lawrence's use of an oxymoron is to explain how overindulgence leads to sickness or boredom. The two opposing forces in this quote are love and obsession. Love is wonderful and fulfilling so long as its not overused. When it is overindulged, love becomes obsessive and burns out. Love is sustained while obsession dies.
- Romeo compared Juliet to the sun, and when talking about the moon told her to, "...be not her maid..." (2.2.7). Romeo had previously associated Rosaline with the moon goddess, Diana, who is also the goddess of chastity. The contrast between light and dark, suggest the building tension between the two families. Like the sun and the moon, the two families are neither good nor evil.
- Juliet is in love with Romeo but cannot be with him because of their family's ancient feud. The opposing forces in this scene are love and hate. Juliet and Romeo love each other despite their family's feud, but they can not publicly love each other because they are supposed to hate one another.
