Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. Here's much to do with hate, but more with love: Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing! Of nothing first create. O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health! Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. Dost thou not laugh? The oxymorons in Romeo's dialogue emphasize the anger he feels toward a certain woman. His certainty about his romantic fate. The extreme emotions that he is feeling. His confusion about Benvolio's advice.

Lesly Pruitt · Answer 1

The extreme emotions that he is feeling.

Romeo is not feeling anger towards a woman. He is extremely frustrated that his love is not returned and in that he is almost angry with love for creating these feelings in him that are not being returned. The oxymorons are contradictions so they offer no certainty, unless he is certain of the chaos. Romeo is definitely not confused about Benvolio's advice. This has nothing to do with the oxymorons.
