O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo

O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo

Summary

In this quote from Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet expresses her longing and confusion for her beloved Romeo. She questions why he has to be a Montague, the family that is rival to her own. "Wherefore" in this context means "why," as she ponders why destiny has brought them together in such challenging circumstances. This line encapsulates the central conflict of the play, the obstacles and constraints imposed by society that prevent the young lovers from being together.
