"That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" are words spoken by Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
In my opinion, that which we call arose by any other name would smell as sweet.
This quote is from William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." It is spoken by Juliet in a famous passage where she argues that a name is an artificial and irrelevant label, and that the essence of a person or thing is more important than their name.
What would be the point of having it otherwise? However, as you know, "that which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet."
Juliet is basically talking about how names mean nothing in a person. She says "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" meaning that Romeo would still be as sweet if or if he wasn't a montegue. (since their families are enemies)
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet."
And that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, yes.
Yes. It is in Romeo and Juliet: "What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."
Juliet says "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" in Act 2, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." She is expressing her belief that a person's identity is not defined by their name.
Juliet uses an analogy when she says, "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" (2.2.43-44); her point is that Romeo's surname,"Montague," shouldn't matter. If a rose were called a "cabbage," it would still smell sweet; and even though Romeo's name is the name of her family enemy, he's still wonderful.
This is most likely an elongated paraphrase of Juliet's statement, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other name would smell as sweet;" If so, then Shakespeare would have been the first to coin it.
