Juliet, Act 2, Scene 2:

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;

Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.

What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,                    

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

What's in a name? That which we call a rose,

By any other word would smell as sweet.

So Romeo would — were he not Romeo called —

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title. Romeo, doff (get rid of) thy name,

And for that name, which is no part of thee,

Take all myself.

Juliet is saying all of the following EXCEPT...

• A name is not important

• Why does Romeo have to be a Montague?

• Romeo should get rid of his name; he would be just as perfect without it.

• Roses would not be sweet if they had a different name.
