Dove-feathered raven wolfish-ravening lamb!.
Despised substance of divinest show!.
Just opposite to what though justly seem'st.
A [damned] saint, an honorable villain. (3.2.79-5).
All of these oxymorons capture the inner conflict in Juliet heart. The oxymoron's she begins with is "O serpent heart, hid with a flow"ring face!" (3.2.79). Juliet has become unsure that she knows Romeo. At the beginning she sees a beautiful face with a matching attitude, but after Romeo kills Tybalt, she is second guessing Romeo's pure heart. Juliet says Romeo has a serpent's heart. Serpents have often been depicted as the tempters to do evil, or just as evil in general. In the story of Adam and Eve the snake is the one who persuades eve to eat the apple. Flowers, on the other hand, have always been a representative of beauty and love. Juliet says that Romeo is a serpent or has an evil persona and that he is covered with a flow"ring face or is under the disguise of good looks and beauty. Another notion that Romeo is being deceptive continues with the line "Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?" (3.2.80). She calls Romeo a dragon with a fair cave. Dragon's caves have often been illustrated as a place of bones, death and decay, but fair means good looking and decent. Juliet says that Romeo is a dragon with a guise of a comfortable and inviting personality, which could be perceived as a predator with a clean appearance or household to lure the unwary victims to him so that he can slay them.
She continues with the idea that Romeo is a two sided being such as an angel and a fiend. Juliet calls Romeo a "Beautiful tyrant" (3.2.81), which means that she thinks that Romeo has been deceiving people with this handsomeness and that he is actually a tyrant and a killer underneath his pretext. Another even harsher oxymoron is "fiend angelical" (3.2.81). Juliet is comparing Romeo to an angel. An angel throughout the Christian world is usually associated with love, beauty, and safety.
