Answer: they include

1 heavy lightness

2. Serious vanity

3. Brawling love.

Explanation:

An oxymoron is a contradictory figure of speech.

The feud is oxymoronic because of the love hate relationship in both families. the reasons for the hatred between both families was because the opposite family loved their own family so much. In terms of dignity both families are alike but still hate people who want the same things they do and are exactly like them.

They both loved and protected their families. They should have been friends because of these similarities, .

Answer:

Three of the oxymorons include

1. Brawling love

2. Heavy lightness

3. Serious vanity

The feud is oxymoronic and could be described as a vicious circle: the Montagues took revenge for what the Capulets did, the Capulets took revenge for that, et cetera.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two opposite ideas are joined to create an effect. The common oxymoron phrase is a combination of an adjective proceeded by a noun with contrasting meanings, such as “cruel kindness,” or “living death”. However, the contrasting words/phrases are not always glued together.
