"Illustrate Juliet’s love for Romeo in spite of his family name."

She argues that a name is arbitrary ("What's in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet") and asks him to "deny thy father," showing she cares for Romeo himself, not the Montague name—not that he is her sworn enemy or merely that she wishes he belonged to another family.
