12. Juliet, waiting longingly for the nurse to deliver news of Romeo, obviously feels desperate and exasperated, and nervous to hear the news, and whether it be bad or good.
13. The nurse talks about how she’s out of breath, and how she may be ill, instead of telling Juliet the news, prolonging the desperate wait, and probably causing Juliet to become more annoyed and exasperated.
14. The nurse’s news is that Romeo wants to meet Juliet in a chapel to be married that very afternoon.

While an <u>oxymoron</u> is a figure of speech where two opposing words in meanings are used together intentionally for creating a special effect, an <u>euphemism</u> is concerned with the use of a word or phrase that replaces another with a less offensive or vulgar meaning.
<u>Examples of oxymorons are</u>:
- 2. Ted thought the game was <u>bittersweet</u> because his team won, but he was injured. <em>(The game was pleasant because of the result, but it included a bit of suffering since Ted ended up injured)</em>
- 4. After his ordeal, Richard looked like a member of the <u>living dead</u>. <em>(Richard seemed to be alive but with a dead soul)</em>
<u>Examples of euphenisms are</u>:
- 1.Nick was <u>stretching the truth</u> when he said that he was working on his second novel. <em>(Nick was saying something that wasn't exactly true...)</em>
- 3.The horse was <u>put to sleep</u> after injuring its leg at the derby. <em>(The horse was sacrified...)</em>
