In Romeo and Juliet, what does Juliet mean...?

Question

When she says, "Romeo, oh Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Answer 1

where are you Romeo?

Answer 2

Juliet is lamenting Romeo's name, alluding to the feud between their two families.

What I mean is she's not asking where he is...she wants to find the Romeo that her parents will accept...the real Romeo...

it all goes back to that "what's in a name" type thing.

Answer 3

Answer 5

"Wherefore" doesn't mean "where," it means "why?"  She's asking why he has to be named Romeo, because that means he is from the Montague family and therefore her family's enemy.  If he were named anything else, it would be no problem for them to be together.
