Juliet is frustrated that Romeo is a Montague. She questions labels and names. She laments that people are defined by names they are merely born under.She thinks there is more to a person, specifically Romeo, that what names and labels people put on them.
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.
