Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of  romeo and juliet. friar laurence:   these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honeyis loathsome in his own deliciousnessand in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. what do the oxymoron and paradox in this excerpt illustrate about love? only love has the ability to overcome obstacles. nothing good ever comes from truly loving another. loving with restraint is the key to long-lasting love. true love causes one to lose the ability to reason.

Loving with restraint is the key to long-lasting love.

Explanation:

In this passage, Friar Laurence talks about the problems of unrestrained love. He tells us that when love is too intense at the beginning, it is like fire and powder. However, this means that it also ends too quickly, and it turns bitter, as if the sweetest honey became unpleasant. Therefore, he argues that moderation is key, and that a love that progresses slowly and calmly is more likely to last longer.

innocence can be defined as the lack of sin, relating it with the lack of guilt, also it can be a synonime of naivety. most people agree that sins are made out of experiences, intentionally or not, as well as you stop being naive once certain things happen to you throughout your life. so, with this explained, the chosen answers are:

when the boy saw the effects of war, he no longer viewed life as innocent.

the loss of innocence is a result of gaining experience and making mistakes.

one way to define innocence is as a lack of worldly experience or sophistication.
