Romeo says "villain am I none;
Therefore farewell; I see thou know'st me not."
Tybalt has just called Romeo a villain, hoping he'll start a fight. But Romeo says, "I'm not a villain; clearly you don't know me, because if you did, you'd know I wasn't a villain." Of course, Tybalt also doesn't know that Romeo is his kinsman by marriage, which is why Romeo won't fight, but Romeo knew this beforehand and so is not implied in "I SEE thou know'st me not"
Romeo does not say "Thou knowst you not." That is a misquotation and you mustn't do it. When you make a quotation, you must put it down exactly as it is written in the text. You cannot freely substitute "you" for "me"--this is totally wrong, as you must know if you speak English at all. When you go into a restaurant, you don't say "Give you a cup of coffee, please."
She means "Where are you, Romeo?"
Wherefore means why. "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" means "Why are you Romeo?" Juliet is asking why he is Romeo, or more simply why does he have to be a member of the Montague family.
Juliet JULIET O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy father and refuse thy name;Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Shakespeare's words were: Romeo O' Romeo Where for art thou O' Romeo
It is spelled "wherefore art thou".Wherefore does not mean where. It means for what reason, or why.So when Juliet says, "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" she means, "O Romeo, Romeo, why are you Romeo?" That is, why are you a guy called Romeo Montague instead of the same guy with a different name? That's why later on in the same speech she says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."Please correct anyone you hear trying to say that "wherefore" means "where".
