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.
