Act II

(-Juliet II,ii) Juliet says this after she finds out from the Nurse that Romeo is a Montague. This is horrible news and significant to Juliet in the play because of the family feud between their families: the Capulets and the Montagues. She is upset that just because he has the Montague last name she would be forbidden by her family to marry him. She believes that if he had a different name she would have been permitted to be with him. When Juliet asks, "What's in a name?" then says, "that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." she means that if he had a different last name he would still be the same great guy! The name 't make him who he is.

In life, people are sometimes judged by their last names due to the errors of past family members. This is unfair. Just because a person has inherited a last name doesn't mean they inherited their family member's wrong doings. A name doesn't determine who a person is. One could change their last name and they would still be the same person...good or bad!



Act III

media type="custom" key="9366394"

(-Juliet III,iv) Juliet asks Romeo if he thinks they will ever be together again. This is significant to Juliet because in the play Romeo, her true love, is banished from her. She is heartbroken and worries that she may never see him again.

This is significant in life because often time circumstances like war, job locations, going off to different schools, and even death can tear a couple in love apart. They don't know what the future holds and if they will ever get to see each other again.
