The statement that best interprets the contradiction 'sweet sorrow' in this text is "Juliet is sad to leave her beloved but looks forward to seeing him tomorrow".

In this passage from Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is talking to Romeo, who is her beloved. She is telling Romeo that it is tough to leave him; however, she is excited for seeing him tomorrow. In other words, for Juliet it is painful to leave Romeo, but knowing that she will see him tomorrow comforts her and that is why she makes reference to the contradiction 'sweet sorrow'. This passage from Shakespeare's play is part of Act 2.
