You're thirteen, love! en-us 2013-06-24 18:08:26 UTC 2023-02-28 19:08:08 UTC hello@padlet.com loveenglish https://padlet.com/loveenglish/maidenhead/wish/10959149 2013-06-26 17:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/loveenglish/maidenhead/wish/10959149 Ramin https://padlet.com/loveenglish/maidenhead/wish/30667323 'Serpent Heart' is an oxymoron,
contrast of snake and flower;
evil and pure.
Suggests Romeo is two-faced
and has changed

 In moral paradise of such sweet flesh'

There is juxtaposition showing the contrast between 'spirit of a fiend' and 'sweet flesh'. Juliet is conflicted, she can't understand why the man she loves appeared to be so perfect yet turned out to be so evil. Seems two faced.

This is an oxymoron.

Juliet is saying that Romeo id deceitful and is tricking her and  is hiding behind a beautiful face.

Contrast between religion and evil - throughout the play,
religion has been a key theme and is a link to a previous
scene where Juliet is described, by Romeo, as a saint so
it shows changes in superiority and status

Juliet is assaying that Romeo is full of evil and "vile matter" inside but on the outside Romeo seem lovely and well meaning "fairly bound".
