Romeo and Juliet
A Rose By Any Other Name
In the classic play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Juliet speaks the immortal lines - that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.
The issue is that Romeo is a Montague - the hated enemies of Juliet's family, the Capulets. Juliet has just seen Romeo at a party and fallen in love with him. He would be perfect for her - if only he wasn't part of the Montague family.
Her sad pondering says:
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father, and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.
