Use the passage to answer the question.

Question

Juliet.

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

By any other word would smell as sweet.

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title.

In one or two sentences, describe the meaning of this analogy.

Answer 1

This analogy suggests that the name "Romeo" is not essential to his identity and that he would still possess the same qualities even if he were called something else.
