Yes, there are instances of oxymorons in Poe's stories, where contradictory terms are used together for effect. For example, in "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator describes himself as both "cunning" and "mad." This adds depth to the character and highlights the inner conflict and uncertainty within him.
