Can anyone translate the line from 'Romeo and Juliet' for me?
Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou, Romeo? (link)

The misconception is that it means where are you Romeo. Sorry to say, but that is WRONG. It means why are you (is your name) Romeo. Basically, she's saying why do you have to be of the Montague family (or the enemy family of her own). The line is her wishing that he had a different last name so that it would be acceptable for her to love him. Hope I helped.
