Shakespeare did not use the word ostracize so you must be thinking of someone else's Romeo and Juliet. Ostracize is a word meaning to banish, deriving from the ancient Greek custom in Athens where the citizens could vote (by writing on bits of broken pottery called ostrakoi, hence "ostracize") to banish one of the citizens from the city as a punishment. "Banish" is of course a word that Shakespeare actually did use in his play Romeo and Juliet.

In "Romeo and Juliet," the term "ostracize" means to exclude or banish someone from a group or society. It is used to describe the actions taken by the Capulet family, who ostracize Juliet after she defies their wishes and refuses to marry Paris. This exclusion ultimately leads to tragic consequences in the play.
