  • Explain what Juliet says about names. Do you agree?

Juliet says that names are nothing more than names. They don't tell what a person is. Just because someone is named a Montague it doesn't mean that they are a certain way. She thinks that she must judge someone, not by who they come from, but by who they are. "What is a Montague? It is nor hand, nor good, nor arm, nor face, belonging to a man" (Act 2. Sc. 2. Line 43)When Juliet appears on her balcony, what does Romeo compare her to?I think that she is right about this. Just because you come from a certain family, doesn't meant that you are exactly like them. You might have some qualities of that family, but you shouldn't be judged by who you come from. This is what Juliet means when she is talking about names. It doesn't matter what family Romeo came from, she believes that he is a good person even if his family hates her family.
