36 O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?

37 Deny thy father and refuse thy name,

38 Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

41 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.

42 Thou art thyself, thou not a Montague.

43 What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,

44 Nor arm, nor face, [nor any other part]

45 Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

46 What's in a name? That which we call a rose

47 By any other word would smell as sweet.

48 So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,

49 Retain that dear perfection which he owes

50 Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,

51 And, for thy name, which is no part of thee,

Lines 36-39 and 41-52 of Act 2; Scene 2, are significant to me because they have distinct levels of understanding and meaning to the play. Line 41 goes back to the original conflict that Romeo and Juliet are from feuding houses, the Capulets and the Montagues. It shows that Juliet does not want her family to fight the Montagues, and that she believes it is ridiculous because it is not the people they hate and fight it is their

I think that William Shakespeare wrote this passage with excellent use of imagery and metaphors, ideas of universal significance, contradiction, and one motif. Line 36-39 and 41-52 of Act two; Scene two are crucial to the understanding of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet because they show the overwhelming dilemma faced by the star-crossed lovers. That much pressure led them to suicide.

This excerpt affects Juliet because she is finally admitting that her parents are not always right, mostly about the feuding, but also about selecting her a husband. She is showing an indication of rebellion in the line "Deny thy father and refuse thy name" by saying "deny thy father". I think it means that she will disobey her father so that she will no longer be a Capulet, which is said in "And I'll no longer be a Capulet". The quotation also affects Romeo because while Juliet is speaking, to what she thinks is herself, Romeo is, in fact, listening. Romeo is willing to change his name for Juliet, now that he heard her say all those things about him. He has also realized that the strife between the households is absurd and that it is not the people they are fighting
