The play was called a tragic comedy, this was the first experience with an oxymoron describing a whole book. We talked a lot about why it was called a tragic comedy. It's called that because of the little lines through out the play that would make you laugh and then ending the book with death. Also, we learned how if a book is described as tragic then the main character dies. ]]> 2016-12-06 23:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/duddinghailey/nphuiwvy1a4m/wish/142181609 G duddinghailey https://padlet.com/duddinghailey/nphuiwvy1a4m/wish/142182325 Oxymoron connects to macbeth because they are put through out the whole book. Example, "fair is foul, and foul is through the fog and filthy air."]]> 2016-12-06 23:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/duddinghailey/nphuiwvy1a4m/wish/142182325 H duddinghailey https://padlet.com/duddinghailey/nphuiwvy1a4m/wish/142182992 "Now then.

If ever an article could get away with opening with an attention-grabbing oxymoron like that, this is it.

Of course, that was an incidental oxymoron. The deliberate ones can be equally delicious. Even the cliched ones are nowhere near as eye-roll inducing as other cliches. They're familiar - but somehow not trite."
