So first, you want to be familiar with what a paradox is--it's something that seems false or like a contradiction, but they're actually true in a sense. an oxymoron is a contradictory phrase or statement; easy examples are "jumbo shrimp" or saying that someone is "found missing." shrimp are small, so describing them as jumbo is contradictory. if one is missing, they are unfound, so to say someone is "found missing" is contradictory.

with that in mind, try to categorize your quotes.

"beggarly riches" is an oxymoron, because "beggarly" describes someone who is poor, but "riches" mean wealth. this is contradictory.

"what a pity that youth must be wasted on the young" is a paradox, because it sounds illogical that youth, belonging to or characterized by youngness, could be wasted on young people, but it's true in a sense. young people tend to waste their youth, perhaps by ignoring opportunities or being reckless, etc.

"i can resist anything but temptation" is another paradox. it's contradictory because temptation in itself suggests a lack of resistance, so not resisting temptation is giving into temptation--and giving into temptation marks the absence of resistance. circular, confusing--there's your paradox.

"civil war" is an oxymoron in this context because being "civil" means to be cordial and respectful, and "war" in itself violates that mutual respect.

Read the excerpt from Act III, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet. Juliet: And bring in cloudy night immediately. Spread thy close cur
stepladder [879]

The phrases foggy night, hidden, and spread thy close curtain all support the theme of gloom. So,<em> closed curtain, cloudy night, eyes may wink, and unseen</em> are the correct words and phrases.

<h3>What is the significance of the dark motif?</h3>

On an overcast night, all of the stars should be visible. When this happens, the sky will get even darker due to the fact that all sources of light will be blocked.

Being hidden also supports the idea that it was too dark outside for anybody to see Romeo come to see her, as well as the fact that there was a dark enough location in which Romeo could navigate without fear of guards catching sight of him.

The phrase "spread thy tight curtain" refers to the darkness and Juliet's expectation that curtains will appear to cover the sky.

The line "runaway's eyes may wink" could be added as an extra phrase. Juliet refers to the night as "runaway," however she also sees the stars as "eyes," blinking.
