Juliet lines 85-106 paraphrase

Answer 1

Or shut me nightly in a charnel-house,

O'er-cover'd quite with dead men's rattling bones,

With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;

Or bid me go into a new-made grave

And hide me with a dead man in his shroud;

Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;

And I will do it without fear or doubt,

To live an unstain'd wife to my sweet love.

Answer 2

In these lines from Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is debating the importance of names and lamenting the fact that Romeo is her enemy simply because of his last name, Montague. She expresses how arbitrary and limiting societal labels can be, questioning why names should matter more than who someone truly is. Ultimately, Juliet concludes that if Romeo were to reject his name, she would do the same in order to be with him.
