Act 2, Scene 2: Strength of Juliet's Love

Prompt F

Questions for Scene 2:

In scene 2.2, Juliet says, "Deny thy father and refuse thy name, Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." This line really shows the strength of love between Juliet and Romeo, revealing how Juliet's love for Romeo is more important that her family and name. Juliet's bravery is also seen in this line since Capulet is her identity and who the society knows her as, presenting Juliet as willing to give up everything and announce that to the public. Juliet's love influences her to make this decision and brings out the courage inside of Juliet to be not the name that is given to her but who she wishes to be, not letting the idea that Capulet set restrictions on her relationship with Romeo, a Montague.

  3. Changing her name would be a good idea, but how would her parents feel towards this action?

  4. Because the Capulets and Montagues are enemies they will never be allowed to change their names. How will Romeo and Juliet ever be together if they are being held back by their family name?
