+453 You used to think that "Wherefore art thou Romeo" meant Where are you Romeo? amirite?

To clear any problems in the future: The 'wherefore' here means why rather than where. What Juliet is asking, in allusion to the feud between her Capulet family and Romeo's Montague clan, is 'Romeo, why are you a Montague?'. Their love is impossible because of their family names and she asks him to change his allegiance, or else she will change hers.

Someone told me once that "that which we call a rose/ by any other name would smell as sweet" meant that Juliet thought that Romeo smelled like flowers.
