Quote by William Shakespeare
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo Deny thy father, and refuse thy name...
Summary
In this famous quote from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet expresses her lament about the barriers that Romeo's name imposes on their love. "Wherefore art thou" means "why are you," not "where are you." Juliet wonders why Romeo must be a Montague, a member of the family that is the rival of her own. She suggests that he should forsake his family name and choose to be with her instead, as it is their identities and last names that prevent them from being together.
