Akọwa Nkọwa
The expression "poisonous pleasure of wine" is an example of an oxymoron. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory terms to create a new meaning. In this case, "poisonous" and "pleasure" are two words that have opposite meanings. "Poisonous" suggests something harmful or deadly, while "pleasure" suggests something enjoyable and desirable. By combining these two words, the writer is emphasizing the negative effects of drinking wine, even though it may give temporary pleasure.
