Your teacher might be looking for the word
oxymoron as an additional literary device. The phrases you
see in those lines that oppose each other qualify for that device. For example, when we
say jumbo shrimp, we are saying big little. These are opposites. She calls Romeo an
honourable villain and a damned saint. These phrases do not work together, they are
oxymorons.
Another device at work is the
rhetorical question that the last line you cited is just
beginning. You can't really talk to nature. Juliet is wondering why Romeo would be both
her love and her great enemy, but this she did know before she got together with
him.
