What are some oxymorons that are in fahrenheit 451

Answers

Final answer:

The book Fahrenheit 451 employs oxymorons as a literary device. Examples include 'cheerful robot', which contradicts the typical emotionless aspect of robots, and 'deafening silence', used to describe the protagonist's isolation.

Explanation:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury features several examples of oxymorons and contradictory terms used for dramatic effect. One example is the phrase 'cheerful robot', used to describe the mechanical hound. Robots are usually devoid of emotions, making 'cheerful' a contradicting description. Another example is 'deafening silence' which Bradbury uses to describe Montag's feeling of isolation in his empty, silent house. The phrase itself is an oxymoron because silence cannot physically be deafening.
