“It is a huge nothing we
fear.”
“It is a huge nothing we fear” is oxymoron. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory or contrasting terms to create a unique effect. In this case, the words “huge” and “nothing” are juxtaposed to create a paradoxical image.
The use of an oxymoron in this statement serves to emphasize the idea of fear as something intangible and insubstantial, despite being described as “huge.” It highlights the irrationality or baselessness of the fear being discussed, suggesting that it lacks substance or true significance.
