How dose Shakespeare introduce the idea of opposites being the same

Shakespeare often contrasts opposite making them seem like they are but the same option.

Explanation:

He employs this strategy in some of his most famous aphorisms which include 'to be or not to be', and 'fair is foul and foul is fair'.

These statements are comparisons between two diametrically opposite stances which makes an impression that anything is on the table and either of the options will result in the same thing as they are compared directly to each other.

Thus it gives the impression of being the same.

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3.   the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
