I would like to point out that this Quote is not said by Romeo, but by Juliet to Romeo.
Sorry, I mean the “A rose by any other name…” quote
Thanks for pointing out that Romeo & Juliet quote error Alaina – now fixed
It unfortunately still says spoken by Romeo. I actually was about to research online what I might of missed, because I could have sworn it was spoken by Juliet. Thank you for your comment, I was about to go on a wild goose chase.
I guess I should have clarified, it still says romeo on the actual page. the main page does say Juliet. sorry..
isn’t the “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright” quote in Act 1 scene 5?
