soliloquy ( act 2 scene 2 line 40 )

Juliet cant talk to Romeo because he is a Montague. If he had any other last name it would be okay, but now she has to decide if he is worth anything. If a rose had other name it would still smell the same. So Romeo would still be the same even if he had a different last name. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” Juliet knows that her family hates the Montagues but  She wonders if the relationship between them could still work out. It’s only your name that’s the enemy. You are what you are a name doesn't matter. "What’s Montague? It is nor hand nor foot, nor arm, nor, face nor any other part belonging to a man. O,which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."What is so special about a name? If there were no names then would there even be a feud. If Romeo could just changed his name then being together with Juliet would be so much easier.

This soliloquy is important to the play because this when Juliet decides if she should take a chance on Romeo and go against the name Capulet and date a Montague.

I chose this soliloquy because its so true, what is in a name? It's just a name who cares if you have that name you are still the same person even if you have a different name.
