It's literally basic 1st grade English to understand that Shakespeare didn't mean "where" when he used the word "wherefore", and it fricking baffles me that human beings can be this moronic.
Yes? The central drama to Romeo and Juliet is that they love each other despite being from warring families who have a literal vendetta against each other. Her asking >Why are you Romeo?
Is essentially her pondering whether or not her lovers family matters. He's not just his name, he is his own individual and that's what she loves and the vendetta between their families doesn't factor into their love

So she's not asking "Why do you have to be Romeo and not a person from a different family?"?
Why would she even be upset about that? It's the Montague part her family had issues with. If he was "Romeo Smith" or some shit, there wouldn't have been any problem.
>Why would she even be upset about that? It's the Montague part her family had issues with.
Yes, but it's more like saying "Why couldn't you be someone else". She literally says right after "deny thy father and refuse thy name", meaning that she wants him to just be Romeo Smith or whatever.
If you're asking why it was written like that and not to say something else, I can't answer that because I didn't write it.
>9th grade >Watching this movie in our lit class >Teacher gives us firm warning about the nude scene coming up and not to make any jokes or comments about it and to be mature >Nude scene happens >Class clown pipes up "Damn she got some big ass breasts!" >Entire class loses it >He gets sent to principals office >Had to silently read the rest of the class period
My teacher was instructed to hold a regular sheet of printer paper up when the nude scene came up and it obviously failed miserably cause the paper just kept folding over and we all lol'd both at the fail and the nice breasts.
My teacher tied me to a chair, had my eyes pried open clockwork orange style and moved through the nude scene frame by frame saying "Olivia hussey's underage nipple. Do you See? Olivia Husseys AREOLA. DO YOU SEE?"
My hot grade 10 english teacher made us watch that shitty will smith movie where he plays a homosexual and there's a naked junkie running around in one scene so to make up for it she pulled her breasts out and let every guy in class have a suckle jk haha but seriously though that movie sucked and made me wonder why anyone would like gays.
It's funny we watch romeo and juliet in like 9th grade english and no one made a big deal of the titty scene but when we watched blood diamond in 10th or 11th the school got a bunch of complaints about the profanity.
>watch classics in highschool like Romeo and Juliet >forced to watch M. Night Shamalamayanama in college because the professor wanted us to hate as deeply as her
I don't think we ever watched anything but pop culture garbage in my writing and english lit classes. We spent like 2 weeks on 'i see dead people' movie so we could break the moronation down scene by scene. I guess it worked, I could never watch another one of his movies again.
There's some oddly specific stuff in my life that apparently happened to everyone else on the internet. This is one of them. Another one is the Danish cookie tins being used to store sewing equipment. Wonder what this phenomena is called
>walk out onto the balcony >see your budding 15 yo daughter in a compromised position with a man with no chaperone in sight >"d-daddy we were just rehearsing for the movie. You promised Mr zeffirelli it would be alright didn't you?"
I have a theory about why people are so overwhelmingly wrong about this. It's because "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo" is the single most quoted line in all of Shakespeare. Perhaps the single most quoted line in all of the English language.
You've heard somebody say it out loud. You just have. You've probably said it out loud at some point, yourself. And every time someone says this line out of context, they emphasize the word ART. It's always, "Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore ART thou, Romeo?" And if you translate that into modern English, it sounds like Juliet is saying, "Where ARE you"? It's like she may as well be saying "Where the frick ARE you, already"? Like she's losing her patience.
But obviously when you read the entire soliloquy, there's no mistaking that she is lamenting the fact that his name is Romeo Montague instead of anything else. But most people quote the line context free.
Probably the only line that's been misremembered and misquoted more often than "Luke I am your father".
The actual quote comes from Act 2 scene 6: "Romero O' Romeo wheretofore a'rst thou my beloved.
But to be fair to you, I was a theatre major, not a lit major. It is very possible that you're quoting the original folio, but as far as the one that is traditionally performed, the first quote is correct. I've done R+J three separate times. Never played Romeo (or Juliet for that matter) buy I've been Mercutio, Tybalt and Friar Laurence. I've heard the speech too many times. Too many

Kinda weird seeing an expert on Cinemaphile with so much passion in their field reveal their power level when in another thread they're probably just another capeshitter or dickyposter.
Lmao. For any zoomies or morons who failed High School English:
She is frustrated that his name reveals him to be a member of the family in a multi-generational feud with hers.
OP is baiting morons and it worked pretty well.
ya'll homies seent Romeo???

Literally what the frick else could it mean?
Why are you Romeo?

homie, they just met.
So she's not asking "Why do you have to be Romeo and not a person from a different family?"?
It means "why". Or, more specifically, it means "for what reason".
Where u at?
It means "Why does your name have to be Romeo?"
Why would she even be upset about that? It's the Montague part her family had issues with. If he was "Romeo Smith" or some shit, there wouldn't have been any problem.

My teacher was liberal as hell. She just warned us that breasts will show and when they did, we chuckled.
>watching a movie in school with a nude scene
I watched this and Amelie in high school english and french respectively
It's incredibly common to see this movie in school you homosexual.
At my school we also watched The Coca Cola Kid, which has a full nude shower scene with Greta Scacchi and e-girl Rebecca Smart.
Dawg I went to a private Christian school and we watched this and The Crucible which starts with naked witches in the woods.
This movie is just part of the curriculum in schools.
My hot grade 10 english teacher made us watch that shitty will smith movie where he plays a homosexual and there's a naked junkie running around in one scene so to make up for it she pulled her breasts out and let every guy in class have a suckle jk haha but seriously though that movie sucked and made me wonder why anyone would like gays.

also watched it in 10th grade and those breasts were so glorious i looked it up again when i went home

You have to be 18 to post here. Enjoy your ban kiddo.

Inb4 coincidence
> Another one is the Danish cookie tins being used to store sewing equipment
Wtf i thought only my mum did this
Literally built for big high school wiener.
Wherefore art those sweet breasts
Wherefore can you still watch this movie without going to jail when the actress playing Juliet was 14 years old?
>jail when
jailfore
I chuckled
>walk out onto the balcony
>see your budding 15 yo daughter in a compromised position with a man with no chaperone in sight

Wat do
Big. Underage. breasts.

an Irish Mexican?
Si ese. You no sabias that Lil Romeo was a vato? He was a good fren.
Uhhhhhhhh.......No. You're wrong.

Nah I just made some shit up to see if you would go on another long-winded rant and call me out on it.
Well then, you win. But I also win. We're all winners
And holy shit is that a high quality remastering. I need to get my hands on that one scene
God, I love the way film looks. Why did digital have to almost totally replace it.
Kinda weird seeing an expert on Cinemaphile with so much passion in their field reveal their power level when in another thread they're probably just another capeshitter or dickyposter.
Probably the second-most quoted after "To be or not to be[, that is the question]".
Why are you Romeo?
I'm not. Frick off, gay. Why are YOU Romeo?
Lmao. For any zoomies or morons who failed High School English:
She is frustrated that his name reveals him to be a member of the family in a multi-generational feud with hers.
OP is baiting morons and it worked pretty well.
Why are you Romeo?
idk anglo literature is trash
>Where that dick at?
she was underage when this was filmed this thread violates Cinemaphile's personal conduct rules
>underage
She was only 16.
So does your face
Replace "Wherefore" with "why" and you have your answer anon.
Does he have to rub it in our faces that he got to rub his on her badongas?
>if only you know how good things really could be
>Haha oops I messed up my line again guess we gotta do another take.
Why do you have to be Romeo?
it means “Where are you, Romeo?” or something like that
who even cares?, just give us the broom broom BLAT BLAT version
Why hasn't anyone posted her breasts?
>Why hasn't anyone posted her breasts?
For fear of the israelite jannies.
She's like 14 so it would be CP and get you perma banned
Booba
