Review the lines from Act II, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet: ’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 name would smell as sweet;

The purpose of this speech is to illustrate Juliet’s

love for Romeo in spite of his family name.
concern that Romeo is her sworn enemy.
wish that Romeo belonged to another family.
fear that Romeo may be physically harmed.

Respuesta :

love for Romeo in spite of his family name.

love for Romeo in spite of his family name

it makes sense, she puts apoint that a name is merely a name and that her love shouldn't be judged because of his and or her family names.
