You can ask me about ANYTHING, and I mean it. If I don't have an answer to give you, instead of making something up, I WILL find you somewhere to go where you will be able to find out what you need. My inbox is always open, and you are quite welcome to IM me on AIM. I think thats about all you need to know, but if you've got other questions...well...see above. =)

Can anyone translate the line from 'Romeo and Juliet' for me?
Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
I'm not sure what you mean by "translate", but I can explain the play to you somewhat.
There are two families, the Montagues and the Capulets. The families do not get along, infact, they are enemies. The Capulets (Juliet's family) have a party, and plan for Juliet to find someone to marry at the ball. At parties back then, young suitors even if they were not invited would come, but with masks on. Romeo(From the Montague family) goes to the party, and dances with Juliet. They fall in love, and then find out that they are from enemy families. They get married in secret, by the Friar in his room. Later, Romeo gets in a fight, and kills someone. He is told that he either must get out of town, or stay in Verona and be executed. Juliet does not want her lover to leave, so her and the Friar have a plan for her to drink a potion that will make her appear dead, and she will only be sleeping, and Romeo will come to her and they will reveal the marriage. However, Romeo does not get the letter telling him that Juliet is NOT really dead - the day she is engaged to be married to the suitor her parents set her up with. Romeo thinks his lover is dead, finds an apothocary, and drinks a lethal potion. Juliet wakes up, to find her love dead, kisses Romeo, and then stabs herself and dies.
Romantic, eh? And if I totally just wasted my time and you were wondering what "Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore art thou, Romeo?" meant, its just Juliet wondering where Romeo is.
EDIT: Why are you rating so low on this? If you already looked it up yourself, don't ask. Troll ratings are not cool.
(Rating: 2) No, I looked it up. It's Romeo, why is you're name Romeo. Meaning why is he a montegue- the rival of the Capulets- what Juilet is. thanks,
Changed by L3 mod - the advice was not harmful, therefore, this should not be rated a one. YOU CANNOT PUNISH ADVICE GIVERS BECAUSE YOU FOUND OUT THE ANSWER LATER.
