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

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

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

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

By any other word would smell as sweet."


Act 2, Scene 2

Verified Answer :

Juliet said this. She's basically saying how she wishes that Romeo had a different last name because then they wouldn't have to hide their love. And he'd still be just as great if he had a different last name like how a rose would still be sweet if we called it something else.
