Hi All, > in English, juxtaposition has the implied connotation that > the two objects placed together would not normally appear together.
I believe you will find that is ironic juxtaposition - something Shakespeare excelled at. If you're too late for the link - here's the text from the OED (Oxford English Dictionary - the one I keep referring too (see Pet)) Simon ----------------------- juxtaposition [a. F. juxtaposition (1690 in Hatz.-Darm.), f. L. juxta + F. position.] a. The action of placing two or more things close together or side by side, or one thing with or beside another; the condition of being so placed. † b. spec. in Cryst. Contactual union between twinned crystals; juxtaposition twin, a composite crystal of two (or more) crystals joined along a plane; a contact twin. Obs. Hence juxtapo'sitional a., relating to or characterized by juxtaposition.
