Omg... I am probably one of the only people that does not understand Shakespeare at all! so I have a question, and I want a serious answer What does this quote mean? "Romeo, Romeo. Where fore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name and I'll no longer be a Capulet. What's in a name? In which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet...." Omg I have no idea how to interpret this I understand that she is saying she'll give up her name of Capulet to be with him... (unless that's wrong) But what does everything else mean?! Ahhh! I tried looking it up and fail, couldn't find anything useful, so please help me, thank you ~Katie
It means that if Romeo had a different last name and different family, she'd be allowed to be with him. So nothing important.
In context with all of that other Shakespearian bull shit, it's not easy to understand. And I've already studied this. No biggie.
Lol. He's 16 and a pedophile Btw there's a book that you can buy that has the original text on one page and what would've been said in today's terms on the next. Side by side Oh and it's made by sparknotes. Lol
I don't believe that their infatuation for each other was necessarily out of love... more like lust than anything
Shakespeare got the idea to write Romeo and Juliet from the stories; Romeus and Juliet Pyramus and Thisbe
I think it means that if Romeo didn't have his father's last name and if he wasn't the Romeo that Juliet was forbidden to love, she wouldn't be a Capulet(WTF is that?! I never read Shakespeare xD). As for the rose part, it means that a name has no importance, and even if a rose were to be called another name, say, lily, it would still look the same and smell as sweet. So, Juliet is saying that Romeo's family name has no importance, and can't determine their love. Random shitty logic I came up with. xD
