What is the significance of Juliet’s speech? What is she saying about names, language, and identity? What is her solution to the obstacle the Capulet and Montague names present? Romeo & Juliet

Respuesta :

Well I read this last year but I’m pretty sure I can give you a good answer. Juliet gave this whole spiel one what’s in a name and the only importance to it is what another gives to it. Her solution was to just get rid of both their names so that they can be together without the family rivalry.

Answer:

Explanation:

Much is revealed in Juliet's speech. First, she reveals her love for Romeo when she says "be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet." In these lines, she says how she would give up her family to be with Romeo. Second, she also discusses with herself how unimportant a name is. She is explaining that a person's named does not make them who they are. Her clearest example is that of a rose. She says, "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Her point is that the name of the rose does not make it sweet, but rather it's make up. She compares this to Romeo and says that "Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title." Juliet feels that Romeo's name is not what makes him the person she loves. Since the names are the only things that are stopping them from being together, she asks him to "deny thy father and refuse thy name." Juliet's solution to the hatred keeping them from being together is for them to give up their families.
