What does 'o 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 mean?
This quote from Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" means Juliet is questioning why Romeo must be a Montague, as their families are feuding. She asks him to reject his family name for the sake of their love. Juliet suggests that if Romeo agrees to be her lover, she will no longer consider herself a Capulet, thus emphasizing how love transcends family allegiances.

What does this mean - Or if thou will not be but sworn my love?
. . . and I'll no longer be a Capulet." To understand the line, you need the whole thing and you need to punctuate it right. "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." She is outlining two possibilities: First, Romeo can deny his father (Montague) and refuse his name (also Montague), but if he doesn't want to do that (if he will not), we move on to option two, which is that Juliet will "no longer be a Capulet". Provided he will swear to love her (be but sworn my love), of course.

Which play did the quote o Romeo Romeo where fore art thou Romeo?
No, your quotation is wrong. The correct quotation is "Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?" The word "wherefore" does not mean "where", it means "why", so the quotation means "Romeo, Romeo! Why are you Romeo?" Juliet is asking why she had to fall in love with Romeo, the son of Montague, since she is supposed to hate all Montagues.
When Juliet asks Romeo Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo what is she asking him as understood today?
Looking at the entire passage: 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. It becomes apparent that the "wherefore" is equivalent to the modern "why are you". She is asking what makes him "Romeo" and a Montague. She ponders why they both can't escape their family names and associated tradition of feuding and live happily together. If the wherefore means "where" she could be asking what part of you (Where is what makes you you) , makes you a Montague. If we know this we could give up our family names.
What part of speech is why when where?
Romeo! Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo "wherefore" means "why": Why art thou "Romeo"? Why art thou a "Montague"? The love between Juliet and Romeo is impossible because of the feud between their families: Capulet and Montague. Juliet begs Romeo to deny his name so that their love can flourish-- but if he cannot do that, she will deny her name: 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. 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,Nor arm, nor face, nor any other partBelonging to a man. O, be some other name!What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title. Romeo, doff thy name,And for that name which is no part of theeTake all myself. I have to agree. I researched this context and many others, and wherefore means 'why'.
What does Juliet ask romeo to give up in return for her hand?
She asks him to give up his name. "Romeo, doff thy name, and for thy name, which is no part of thee, take all myself." She has already said "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."
Is Romeo a Capulet or a Montague?
He is a Montague. In Act II, scene ii (the "balcony scene") of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet says: '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" (2.2.34-36). (Juliet is a Capulet; the Capulet and Montague families hate each other.) Later, she says, "'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; / Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. / What's Montague?" (2.2.38-40). Romeo eventually responds that if Juliet does not want him to be called Romeo or Montague, he will be "Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike" (2.2.61).
Why does Juliet cry out in scene II O Romeo Romeo Romeo Wherefore why art thou Romeo?
Juliet is not asking "where" Romeo is. Rather, she's asking why he has to be a Montegue, or why he has to be a member of the family that is her family's hated enemy. She has just fallen in love with him at the party thrown by her parents, without knowing who he is. Then she finds out his identity, and she realizes that this is going to create problems. Her next line is, "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." In other words, she is wishing that he would renounce his family name so that they could be together, or if he won't do that, all he has to do is swear that he loves her, and she'll renounce her family name instead.
Can a woman refuse a D.N.A test to a man that she doesn't want to be the father?
