45min Inquiry

A Rose by any other name

What does it mean?

The meaning is the name is just something they are called by and has nothing of great value and they cant be judged by it. So you cant judge people by their name its what they are that you have the right to.

Where was it used?

It was by William Shakespeare (1564-1616) in part II and scene II. A Rose by any other name was used in the play Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet is standing on a balcony and Romeo is hiding beneath. She was discussing to herself that the name of Romeos last had nothing of importance and value to who he was.

Background information:

Romeo thought to see juliet dead and commits suicide, but juliet was asleep and wakes up to find him dead. And again juliet commits suicide herself leaving both dead.
