Give a example of juxtaposition

Answer 1

A juxtaposition is placing two opposing things close together to emphasize their differences. An example of juxtaposition is the opening lines of "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens: "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness".

Answer 2

Juxtaposition basically means comparison/contrast (n.).

Juxtaposition is a noun, so naturally it can follow an article (a, an, the) and/or an adjective (as well as genitive nouns), and it can be placed before a relative clause or in another noun phrase in the sentence.

For instance:

The juxtaposition between frogs and toads is negligible.

The student argued against the teacher's blatant juxtaposition of the subject material.

In verb form:

I juxtaposed the music from the 60s to the music of the 70s.

Answer 3

An example and the site:

Noticing juxtapositions can open additional dimensions of the plays. In King Lear, for example, juxtaposition sometimes replaces dialogue as a means of development (as in III.iv). Of course, plays themselves progress by juxtapositions of events that we label "scenes." And, as when Hamlet meets Osric or Romeo meets the Apothecary, there are symbolic juxtapositions in which major issues take human form and speak before us: the changed meet the unchanged--the tragically transfigured idealist meets the man made ordinary by the compromises of survival.
